Hi,
I'm new at Solr and i need to make a "test pilot" of a migration from Fast
ESP to Apache Solr, anyone had this experience before?

I've done been involved with a fair share of these migrations now, what are you looking for?

Hi,
I think there were some links about FAST to Solr migration published
recently. See:
http://blog.isabel-drost.de/index.php/archives/110/moving-from-fast-to-solr
However, as of writing those links are not working, not sure what happend...
Regards,
Lukas

Collections in FAST do not exist in Solr. A FAST collection can be
implemented in Solr using facets or shards. The collection abstraction
in FAST is actually more shard-like in semantics: it is a separate
top-level set of content. This has strong ramifications for relevance:
if collections have the same relevance "statistical footprint", they
can go in the same shard. If they have different relevance
characteristics they should go in different shards.
Example: if book collections and movie title collections share one
shard, relevance calculations are completely bogus. They should go
into 2 separate shards and with different search tuning.
I did one conversion during Solr 1.2. I would up mass-editing all of
the XML data files into Solr'd XML input format. I cannot recommend
this technique.
(Note: since FAST charges by query, doing a deep walk and uploading to
Solr was not financially feasible.)
In general, expect to do a test conversion and then redesign your
schema and search strategies for your "real" conversion. Solr has a
lot of subtleties.

This is really a great source of migration. I guess i will have good
questions after trying. But what i know that will be a little harder will be
the use of collections (facets in Solr) and hierarquical navigators.

Except http://sesat.no/ hasn't been reachable for about 2 days now.... Google cache to the rescue!

Here is a link that might be helpful:

The site is choc-a-bloc with great information on their migration
experience.
