Difference between solr and lucene
@darkheir: Lucene and Solr are 2 differents Apache projects that are made to work together, I don’t understand what is the aim of each project. Solr uses Lucene under the hood. Lucene has no clue about the Solr API. Lucene is a powerful search engine framework that lets us add search capability to our application. … Read more
Nginx not caching data
You didn’t tell NGINX for how much time the response is valid and must be served from cache. This must be specified with proxy_cache_valid directive. proxy_cache one; proxy_cache_key $host$uri$is_args$args; proxy_cache_valid 200 10m; But, this won’t work for POST requests because you have no cache key that differs from a POST request to another on the … Read more
Choosing a stand-alone full-text search server: Sphinx or SOLR? [closed]

How does one get tomcat to bind to ipv4 address?
Many suggested updating catalina.sh startup script. Yes, that solution would work, but catalina.sh script is not meant to be customized/updated. All changes should go into the customization script instead, i.e. setenv.sh. NOTE: TOMCAT_HOME/bin/setenv.sh doesn’t exist by default, you need to create it. Check the catalina.sh script and you will see the startup script checks if … Read more
Solr vs. ElasticSearch [closed]
Update Now that the question scope has been corrected, I might add something in this regard as well: There are many comparisons between Apache Solr and ElasticSearch available, so I’ll reference those I found most useful myself, i.e. covering the most important aspects: Bob Yoplait already linked kimchy’s answer to ElasticSearch, Sphinx, Lucene, Solr, Xapian. … Read more
