Welcome to the Apache Solr project!
-----------------------------------
Solr is the popular, blazing fast open source enterprise search platform
from the Apache Lucene project.
For a complete description of the Solr project, team composition, source
code repositories, and other details, please see the Solr web site at
http://lucene.apache.org/solr
Getting Started
---------------
To start Solr for the first time after installation, simply do:
bin/solr start -f
This will launch a Solr server in the foreground of your shell, bound
to port 8983. Alternatively, you can launch Solr in "cloud" mode,
which allows you to scale out using sharding and replication. To
launch Solr in cloud mode, do:
bin/solr start -f -cloud
To see all available options for starting Solr, please do:
bin/solr start -help
After starting Solr, direct your Web browser to the Solr Admin Console at:
http://localhost:8983/solr/
To add documents to the index, use the post.jar (or post.sh script) in
the example/exampledocs subdirectory (while Solr is running), for example:
cd example/exampledocs
java -jar post.jar *.xml
Or: sh post.sh *.xml
For more information about Solr examples please read...
* example/solr/README.txt
For more information about the "Solr Home" and Solr specific configuration
* http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html
For a Tutorial using this example configuration
* http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrResources
For a list of other tutorials and introductory articles.
In addition, Solr ships with several example configurations that
help you learn about Solr. To run one of the examples, you would do:
bin/solr -e <EXAMPLE> where <EXAMPLE> is one of:
cloud : SolrCloud example
dih : Data Import Handler (rdbms, mail, rss, tika)
schemaless : Schema-less example (schema is inferred from data during indexing)
techproducts : Kitchen sink example providing comprehensive examples of Solr features
A tutorial is available at:
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html
or linked from "docs/index.html" in a binary distribution.
Also, there are Solr clients for many programming languages, see
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/IntegratingSolr
Files included in an Apache Solr binary distribution
----------------------------------------------------
server/
A self-contained Solr instance, complete with a sample
configuration and documents to index. Please see: bin/solr start -help
for more information about starting a Solr server.
example/
Contains example documents and an alternative Solr home
directory containing examples of how to use the Data Import Handler,
see example/example-DIH/README.txt for more information.
dist/solr-<component>-XX.jar
The Apache Solr libraries. To compile Apache Solr Plugins,
one or more of these will be required. The core library is
required at a minimum. (see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPlugins
for more information).

Instructions for Building Apache Solr from Source
-------------------------------------------------
1. Download the Java SE 8 JDK (Java Development Kit) or later from http://www.oracle.com/java/
You will need the JDK installed, and the $JAVA_HOME/bin (Windows: %JAVA_HOME%\bin)
folder included on your command path. To test this, issue a "java -version" command
from your shell (command prompt) and verify that the Java version is 1.8 or later.
2. Download the Apache Ant binary distribution (1.8.2+) from
http://ant.apache.org/ You will need Ant installed and the $ANT_HOME/bin (Windows:
%ANT_HOME%\bin) folder included on your command path. To test this, issue a
"ant -version" command from your shell (command prompt) and verify that Ant is
available.
You will also need to install Apache Ivy binary distribution (2.2.0) from
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ and place ivy-2.2.0.jar file in ~/.ant/lib -- if you skip
this step, the Solr build system will offer to do it for you.
3. Download the Apache Solr distribution, linked from the above web site.
Unzip the distribution to a folder of your choice, e.g. C:\solr or ~/solr
Alternately, you can obtain a copy of the latest Apache Solr source code
directly from the Subversion repository:
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/versioncontrol.html
4. Navigate to the "solr" folder and issue an "ant" command to see the available options
for building, testing, and packaging Solr.
NOTE:
To see Solr in action, you may want to use the "ant example" command to build
and package Solr into the server/webapps directory. See also server/README.txt.
Export control
-------------------------------------------------
This distribution includes cryptographic software. The country in
which you currently reside may have restrictions on the import,
possession, use, and/or re-export to another country, of
encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please
check your country's laws, regulations and policies concerning the
import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption software, to
see if this is permitted. See <http://www.wassenaar.org/> for more
information.
The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity
Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security
software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric
algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation
distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception
ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS
Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object
code and source code.
The following provides more details on the included cryptographic
software:
Apache Solr uses the Apache Tika which uses the Bouncy Castle generic encryption libraries for
extracting text content and metadata from encrypted PDF files.
See http://www.bouncycastle.org/ for more details on Bouncy Castle.
