Thanks for posting this. How do the shard leaders decide which shard should get the document? I’m also curious about how document updates are handled and what happens when a document gets reindexed.

@Mark – right, SolrCloud does not use HBase. This just happened to be what we used in one recent engagement where we also used SolrCloud.

Very nice to see that Solr is taking the step to the cloud. In out company we have the traditional Solr setup with masters and slaves. We are currently investigating if ElasticSearch was the thing for us. It seems to have everything built in. How would you compare ES with SolrCloud? Which has the most potential, which is more stable, which supports the most queries/indexing operations?

So it’s not part of the solution – it’s a part of the data that’s given to you. I see.

Comment on Relevance Tuning and Competitive Advantage via Search Analytics by sematext

Thanks for asking. If you look at Google Analytics you’ll see it’s much more Web Analytics oriented with only a couple of search-specific reports. Compare that to Sematext Search Analytics which gives you a bunch of search-specific reports (but currently doesn’t try to be a general Web Analytics tool, though it certainly could evolved in that direction, too). Considering search is such an important tool that drives ecommerce and more, understanding search experience users and customers have is key to being able to improve and optimize their experience in order to make them and businesses that rely on them happier. I hope this answers your question.
