Catalyst Advent Calendar 2013: WebService Solr Errata

Topics: Web Development, Perl
Tags: catalyst, solr

Update August 2015:  I’ve switched over to building my own raw queries because WebService::Solr isn’t being maintained and its more effective to deal directly with the Solr API than through the abstracted interface. Search::Elasticsearch is superior to any of the Solr Modules – its a direct mapping of the Elasticsearch JSON API to Perl data structures. For my latest project I’ve been looking at Postgres Tri-Gram and Full Text indexing and ElasticSearch as well as considering sticking with Solr.
