Integrating Apache Mahout with Apache Lucene and Solr – Part I (of 3)

By Grant IngersollMarch 16, 2010

Introduction

As Apache Mahout is about to release its next version (0.3), I thought I would share some thoughts on how it might be integrated with Apache Lucene and Apache Solr.  For those who aren’t aware of Mahout, it is an ASF project building out a library of machine learning algorithms that are designed to be scalable (often via Apache Hadoop) and licensed under the Apache Software License (i.e., commercially friendly).  Mahout has a …

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!

The Apache Lucene Ecosystem: My view of 2009

By Grant IngersollDecember 24, 2009

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 …

Thoughts on Efficiency of Enterprise Search on eWeek.com

By Grant IngersollJuly 16, 2009

eWeek.com recently posted a nice article by Dr. Yves Schabes, founder of Teragram, on how to make enterprise search better through some higher order processing techniques like metadata generation, applying taxonomies, etc. and doing relevance testing on a regular basis.  Naturally, this got me thinking about all the different ways this relates to the Apache Lucene ecosystem (Lucene, Solr, Mahout, Tika, etc.) and Lucid Imagination.

First, by choosing an …
