Monday, March 23, 2009

33. Can I run Solr myself? Sure!
1. Get a dedicated server or a VPS and pay to have the Solr load on it.
2. Hire a Java Server Admin or get some books
3. Deploy the stock con g les and modify as needed
4. Learn about Solr replication and con guring it
5. Set up log management, alerting, monitoring, etc
6. Implementing upgrades to both Solr core which will requiring getting your java
development set up and building from source sometimes
7. Keep up to date with the Drupal module and hope that developers x bugs you nd
or you x them yourself.
8. Implement a security regime to protect data transfer
9. Harden your servers, setup rewals and IP based security
10. Figure out how to seamlessly handle updates and versioning
11. *Recommended: Get on the solr-user and solr mailing lists to get updates and alerts
on the Apache Solr project. Don’t worry, it’s only a 50 or so mails a day if you don’t
count the commit messages.
