rsolr-direct

rsolr-direct enhances the RSolr core library by adding the ability to connect to Solr directly, using JRuby, sans http. Hotdog!

How

Check out the specs to see the various connection methods.

Solr Java libs/jars

RSolr-Direct comes with the required Solr jars. If you’d like to use them, just call #load_java_libs:

require 'rsolr-direct'
RSolr::Direct.load_java_libs "path/to/solr/distribution"
# create connection etc..

:solr_home

require 'rsolr-direct'
connection = RSolr.direct_connect(
  :solr_home => '/absolute/path/to/solr/home',
  :data_dir => "/optional/path/to/data/dir")

Java::OrgApacheSolrCore::SolrCore

require 'rsolr-direct'
core = org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.new(nil, solr_data_path, solr_config, index_schema, dcore)
connection = RSolr.direct_connect core

Java::OrgApacheSolrServlet::DirectSolrConnection

require 'rsolr-direct'
dc = org.apache.solr.servlet.DirectSolrConnection.new(solr_home_path, solr_data_path, solr_log_path)
connection = RSolr.direct_connect dc

Why

Using a direct connection to Solr can speed up indexing. How much faster? A page on the Solr Wiki says ~ 50% faster.

Testing

Clone it, cd into the project dir and run:

jruby -S rake spec

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
