ok, I am completely new to SOLR and Lucene, but I have Solr running out of the box under Tomcat 6.x and just moved on to some Wiki elements.
I have a few questions and you also need some suggestions.
Solr can index data in files (XML, CSV), as well as index DB. Can you just point it to the URI / domain and index the website so that google?
If I have a site with the data "Pages", so "Page name", "Page content", etc. and "Product Data", so "Product Name", "SKU", etc., do I need two different Schema.xml files? and if so, does that mean two different Solr instances?
Finally, if you have a project with a large relational and normalized database, what would you say is the best approach of the 3 following options:
You have a background middleware service that runs the database and manually creates the appropriate XML files to send to SOLR
Have a SOLR index directly in the database. In this case, would it be best to point SOLR to views that abstract all table relationships?
Any other options that I don't know about?
Context: we are running Windows 2003, .NET 3.5, SQL Server 2005/2008
Hurrah!
