[Koha-devel] koha 4.0 / solR / Zebra : A working group is born ?

[Waylon Robertson]

okay, after todays failure of zebra, requiring a reindex, no idea why, i recall Apache Solr... so i do  a search.. and i find, this. 
http://www.indexdata.com/news/2010/10/yaz-411-available-now-solr-support

in other words, does this give perl solr support, without too much work? or is this the result of work that was described below?

Hi,

As you all know, BibLibre has worked hard on integrating solR as search
engine into Koha. The resulting work is live in 2 french libraries, and
we plan to integrate it into Koha 4.0

Our preference went to do a in-depth work. It mean we changed the API a
lot, as well as most of the logic behind the search in Koha. It means we
can't keep zebra working as it is today.
Fortunately, the proposed structure is modularized, so it's possible to
re-implement zebra for those who want to stay with it. It's also
possible to reintegrate NoZebra or any other search engine.

Zeno Tajoli sent us a mail with some starting work about this
re-implementation of zebra. I catched tcohen on IRC today, his boss gave
him some time to investigate too. Claire Hernandez (our development
manager) is also helping.

Unless i'm mistaking, it's a draft of a "search engine working group".
If anyone else is interested, drop me (or claire) a mail, we could
organize an IRC session.

PS: i've submitted a presentation for KohaCon11 about what we did around
solR. But it will be librarian-oriented. We will/could/should probably
have a topic about that during HackFest as well ;-)
