Big Data and Solr

Using Solr with Big Data

Course Overview

This two-day training course is designed for Solr developers who want to:

• Learn how to use key open source tools such as Hadoop, Cascading and Mahout.
• Process big data using workflows to generate large search indexes.
• Use Solr 4 as a scalable NoSQL database and analytics engine.

The twenty modules and five labs teach participants about the essential technologies for generating both traditional Solr search indexes and NoSQL/analytics "databases" using Hadoop, Cascading, Cassandra, Mahout and Storm. By the end of the class, students will understand both good and bad use cases for these popular "big data" technologies, and how they can be used to create larger, more sophisticated search and analytics solutions based on Solr.

Who Should Attend?

The class is for Solr developers who want to know how to leverage the flexible search functionality of Apache Solr and the Big Data processing of Apache Hadoop, to create the indexes for both general search and augmented data analytics. Lab exercises and real-world examples will be used to reinforce content.
