John Wang, LinkedIn at Lucene Revolution: "LinkedIn's Distributed Realtime Faceting Search System Based on Lucene"

Presented by John Wang, LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a high traffic consumer internet site and LinkedIn search, built on Lucene, is serving millions of queries on a daily basis. The search problem at LinkedIn is unique in the following ways:

  1. High volume with both unstructured and rich structured data
  2. Different types of structured data, e.g. social graph
  3. Data is changing in realtime
  4. Constant expansion of the underlying corpus

This presentation will cover the challenges we have faced and the solutions we have come up with. Furthermore, the future plans and next steps we are taking in enhancing our search system using Lucene.
