Here’s the announcement:
Hello Lucene users,
On behalf of the Lucene development community I would like to announce the release of Lucene Java versions 3.0.1 and 2.9.2:
Both releases fix bugs in the previous versions:
- 2.9.2 is a bugfix release for the Lucene Java 2.x series, based on Java 1.4
- 3.0.1 has the same bug fix level but is for the Lucene Java 3.x series, based on Java 5.New users of Lucene are advised to use version 3.0.1…

The Apache Lucene Connector Framework project has officially entered incubation. LCF, for short, is going to be a framework for connecting to content repositories like Sharepoint, Documentum, etc. and will make it easy to hook into Lucene, Solr, Nutch, Mahout, Tika, while, of course, remaining agnostic of the final destination of the data. See the Connectors website and the original proposal for more info. Help wanted!
A while back, MetaCarta, a spatial search company, approached us…

It’s that time of year, so I thought I would take a look back at the year that was for the Lucene Ecosystem and maybe look ahead just a little bit too.
First and foremost, it should be obvious to even the most casual observer that the Apache Lucene communities are thriving. Not only is it a great time to be involved in open source, it’s a great time to be involved in Lucene. Both as a…

The paint is barely dry on Apache Solr 1.4 and the community is already on the move for Solr 1.5 (which may actually be Solr 2.0, but for now let’s call it 1.5).
I’m particularly excited about a few things:
November 20, 2009
For a long time now, Solr has had a good chunk of functions available for use to boost relevance based on the content of a field, but I’ve always been on the user side of them and never on the writing side. At least, that is, until recently. This week I have been putting the finishing touches on an article on using Lucene and Solr for spatial search. As part of the article, I had a…

Solr Cell, a new feature in the soon to be released Solr 1.4, allows users to send in rich documents such as MS Word and Adobe PDF directly into Solr and have them indexed for search. All of the examples on the Solr Cell wiki page, however only demonstrate how to send in the documents using the curl command line utility, while many Solr users rely on SolrJ, Solr’s Java-based client. Thus, I thought I…
