solr和lucene的区别:
A simple way to conceptualize the relationship between Solr and Lucene is that of a car and its engine. You can't drive an engine, but you can drive a car. Similarly, Lucene is a programmatic library which you can't use as-is, whereas Solr is a complete application which you can use out-of-box.
Lucene是一个开放源代码的全文检索引擎工具包,即它不是一个完整的全文检索引擎,而是一个全文检索引擎的架构,提供了完整的查询引擎和索引引擎,部分文本分析引擎(英文与德文两种西方语言)。Lucene的目的是为软件开发人员提供一个简单易用的工具包,以方便的在目标系统中实现全文检索的功能,或者是以此为基础建立起完整的全文检索引擎.
Solr是一个高性能,采用Java5开发,基于Lucene的全文搜索服务器。同时对其进行了扩展,提供了比Lucene更为丰富的查询语言,同时实现了可配置、可扩展并对查询性能进行了优化,并且提供了一个完善的功能管理界面,是一款非常优秀的全文搜索引擎。它对外提供类似于Web-service的API接口。用户可以通过http请求,向搜索引擎服务器提交一定格式的XML文件,生成索引;也可以通过Http Solr Get操作提出查找请求,并得到XML格式的返回结果;
Solr和Lucene的本质区别有以下三点:搜索服务器,企业级和管理。Lucene本质上是搜索库,不是独立的应用程序,而Solr是。Lucene专注于搜索底层的建设,而Solr专注于企业应用。Lucene不负责支撑搜索服务所必须的管理,而Solr负责。所以说,一句话概括Solr: Solr是Lucene面向企业搜索应用的扩展。
What is Solr?
Apache Solr is a web application built around Lucene with all kinds of goodies.
It adds functionality like
- XML/HTTP and JSON APIs
- Hit highlighting
- Faceted Search and Filtering
- Geospatial Search
- Fast Incremental Updates and Index Replication
- Caching
- Replication
- Web administration interface etc
Unlike Lucene, Solr is a web application (WAR) which can be deployed in any servlet container, e.g. Jetty, Tomcat, Resin, etc.
Solr can be installed and used by non-programmers. Lucene cannot.
Is it well supported?
Yes! The Solr community is very vibrant and helpful.
Can Solr indexes be read by Lucene and vice-versa?
Since Solr uses Lucene under the hood, Solr indexes and Lucene indexes are one and the same thing.
There is technically no such thing as a Solr index, only a Lucene index created by a Solr instance.
When should I use Lucene then?
If you need to embed search functionality into a desktop application for example, Lucene is the more appropriate choice.
For situations where you have very customized requirements requiring low-level access to the Lucene API classes, Solr may be more a hindrance than a help, since it is an extra layer of indirection.
