Alfresco + SOLR Search

[deepak1987]

I have configured SOLR as a subsytem in Alfresco 4.0 version.

In alfresco-global.properties, following properties has been set.

### Solr indexing ###
index.subsystem.name=solr
dir.keystore=${dir.root}/keystore
solr.port.ssl=8443
### Solr indexing ###

Now, While searching using searchService API, we have to specify Search Language as an argument.

What should I specify in order to use SOLR Search ??

1) searchService.query(Repository.getStoreRef(), SearchService.LANGUAGE_SOLR_ALFRESCO, "PATH:\"/app:company_home\"");

2) searchService.query(Repository.getStoreRef(), SearchService.LANGUAGE_LUCENE, "PATH:\"/app:company_home\"");

What is the significant of above two ?

Thanks,
Deepak

Hi

With SOLR the two are the same.
With lucene, the first uses the lucene sub-system, the second would send to a SOLR server even thought a lucene subsystem is configured.

You should use SearchService.LANGUAGE_LUCENE which follows the sub-system.

Thanks a lot Andy.  

Is there any example or material showing use of SOLR API with Alfresco in Action.
In http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp site, nothing is there related to API usage.

Thanks,
