I just couldn't able to configure the SOLR to get the documents from existing MONGODB. Even Google search for same dint gave me anything worth. Is there any tutorial, video to do the same?
In a past life, we tailed the oplog and used that to feed info to solr.

I'm finding a full-text search framework to search my blog, i have seen solr getting started, but i find solr it's black-box framework, in my experience, if it raise some error, it will hard to debug and know what happen in its inner code.
so my question is is there java search framework that i can use it with pure java(without xml or bin)?
Solr is open-source, you can see it here http://lucene.apache.org/solr/
You normally would not need to debug it to begin with. Solr just wraps the Lucene engine in a REST API with a nice web interface so what would really your problem be?
If you want alternatives, nowadays the best/only alternative with lots of support would be elastic search, you can read more here http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/
Have a blast.
I need to create a document store with search capabilities. Sounds simple...
That means that I have documents which I need to store in database. I thought about CouchDB, and about few other document-oriented databases, but I'm still not sure what would be the best solution.
On the other side, I thought about integrating Solr in some kind of web application which I'm going to use for uploading, indexing, search, update, delete documents.
And, of course, the main problem is that most of these documents are written using Cyrillic characters.
Maybe I'm trying to combine things that do not match together.
Could someone give me an advice what would be the best way to implement solution like this.
Best,

I suggest you use MongoDB as your database and use Solr to get index/search capability.
I used Solr in my previous (government tender) project and it's GREAT.
No bugs, easy to use when you get into it and it's blindingly fast.
Looks like for your needs Thinking sphinx could help. You could store documents in any database(SQL-oriented or not) and search them with sphinx.
Sphinx supports cyrillic characters from the box, also it's possible to use stemming, faceted search, fuzzy search, etc. May be it helps you.

I am also working on such a content management system. Utill now i am going to use a database to store the metadata.
Store the documents on file system.
Dont go for storing documents in database like SQL server. since it has a limitation and licensing cost.For search you can use Solr (better in terms of support and acceptance in open source over sphinx)
Choosing a stand-alone full-text search server: Sphinx or SOLR?
. either way you need to populate indexes. then call API methods to search.
I want to know what are the query classes that Solr use for querying. And what are the difference in querying using lucene and Solr
I am not sure what you are asking, but SOLR is basically a search/indexing server. It has an external http based api for sending documents to be indexed and to search them.
One of the core pieces of SOLR is Lucene. This is the library that actually indexes/searches stuff.
If you need the API/query info for SOLR (which should mirror very closely that of lucene), look on lucene.apache.org
Solr allows you to have a distributed search engine that is exposed as a web-service to your client application. If you are asking, how to use it on the client side, just look at solrj api. If you ask for internal SOLR apis and classes, then you could start from the QueryComponent class, e.g. http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/handler/component/QueryComponent.html.
Lucene is the technology used by solr to perform searches.
I'm not 100% what you are asking but if its how do i query solr, then you simply visit or curl a url, the url will contain the solr query. e.g.
price:[0-1000]
or
name:test
the first part (before the :) is the field,and the second part is the search which can be text,numeric range etc...
there is plenty of documentation regarding this on solr's wiki
Let me know what your actual problem is and ill gladly help
I am a beginner to Hibernate. I am browsing many web tutorials which is confusing me. I just want to know the direction which to go with searching when using Hibernate.
Some tutorials are telling use Hibernate Search with Lucene, other saying use criteria while other saying createSQLQuery.
Can someone guide me in this ?
You should start with Hibernate-Core read the Tutorial and test the examples, modify them. This is IMHO the best way to become familiar with a (any) framework.
Lucene is used by Hibernate-Search which is an extension to Hibernate-Core to index text fields and provide full text search. Don't get confused by the extension unless you managed the core functions.
I have understood how to add xml files to SOLR and be able to search them via the SOLR ADMIN interface...
I need to know however, how to make SOLR work with PHP, and index MYSQL records...
This is what I want to do:
I have a mysql table, which I would like to add to SOLR (index it), so that instead of searching the MYSQL table directly via PHP, I first take the querystring, send it to SOLR, and then SOLR sends back results in form of ID:nrs, then use the ID:s to query mysql and fetch proper records...
I have no clue on how to communicate with SOLR using PHP, any help is appreciated!
Thanks
There's a good article here that will help you through the integration of PHP and SOLR:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-php-apachesolr/
There's a number of PHP interfaces to SOLR, that article references PHP SOLR client:
http://code.google.com/p/solr-php-client/
but there's also this:
http://pecl.php.net/package/solr
I'd suggest that you start with using DataImportHandler (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler) for indexing the database and use one of the many Solr PHP clients (see SolrPHP wiki page). Note that Solr also emits JSON responses so if you are familiar with JSON, it may be the easiest way to get started.
I've been there too and it was the first time I found the Internet to be annoying! Maybe that was because I was in such a hurry to learn it in under a minute. Here's what i suggest:
1.
Don't panic. Understanding the working or even just the implementation takes more than just a few seconds. So, keep some time aside for this.
2.
Learn how to use JSON. You can use this to communicate across languages.
3.
Check the apache site
