LucidWorks Solr

Has anyone used this?:
http://www.lucidimagination.com/Downloads/LucidWorks-for-Solr

Other than the KStemmer and installer what are the other "enhancements" that
this download offers? Is it worth using over the default Solr installation?

Thanks

I'm trying it out right now. I hope it will work well out-of-box for
indexing/searching a set of documents with frequent update.

For my purposes, the Porter analyzer was overly aggressive with stemming. So, we then moved to KStem. It looks like this is no longer being maintained and Lucid claimed much better performance with theirs, so I gave that a try and it seems to be working fine. I didn't do any benchmarks though.

And I just took the war in LucidWorks\dist. I think in the install instructions, there was also a script to apply to the included source code as well. I did that as well since I look at the source regularly.

I didn't look at LudidGlaze or any of the other Lucid features.

Kevin,

When you say you just included the war you mean the /packs/solr.war correct?
I see that the KStemmer is nicely packed in there but I don't see LucidGaze
anywhere. Have you had any experience using this? 

So I'm guessing you would suggest using the LucidWorks solr.war over the
apache-solr-war just because of the various bug-fixes/tests. 

As a side question. Is there a reason you choose the LucidKStemmer over any
other stemmers (KStemmer, Porter, etc)? I'm unsure of which stemmer would
work best. Thanks again!

I used it mostly for KStemmer, but I also liked the fact that it included about a dozen or so stable patches since Solr 1.4 was released. We just use the included WAR in our project however. We don't use the installer or anything like that.
