Adding to the aforementioned limitations and desired improvements, another issue with Zebra is that it index builds scale very poorly. Indexes must be built serially, and it's a really problematic limitation for large catalogs. A parallelized index creation process would be a huge benefit. Does SOLR have that capability?
Also, what do you have in mind for continuing Z39.50 support? This is a must-have feature for many libraries. I've been investigating the possibility of using MongoDB or a similar dynamic indexer to replace Zebra, but the need to write a Z39.50 front end adds a great deal more work to the project.
Hi Clay. Serious questions. About z3950 support, I investigated in JZ3950 Kit http://k-int.blogspot.com/2008/05/exposing-solr-services-as-z3950-server.htm... It seems a serious candidate. About parallelized index creation process, I think I read something about that for solr 1.4.1. But not sure if I can grab on that soon. At least we are investigating solr multicore in order to use solr at its best. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT
