Abstract:
Solr opens up the power of Lucene as a general-purpose search platform, easily integrated with most any environment. Solr's capabilities include faceting, caching, replication, distributed search, and much more. This talk will cover these features of Solr and showcase several applications that have been built on top of Solr, as well as several live demonstrations of Solr in action.
