# Apache Lucene and Solr

Apache Lucene is a high-performance, full featured text search engine library
written in Java.

Apache Solr is an enterprise search platform written in Java and using Apache Lucene.
Major features include full-text search, index replication and sharding, and
result faceting and highlighting.

## Online Documentation

This README file only contains basic setup instructions.  For more
comprehensive documentation, visit:

- Lucene: <http://lucene.apache.org/core/documentation.html>
- Solr: <http://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/>

## Building Lucene/Solr

(You do not need to do this if you downloaded a pre-built package)


### Building with Gradle

As of 9.0, Lucene/Solr uses [Gradle](https://gradle.org/) as the build
system. Ant build support has been removed.

To build Lucene and Solr, run (`./` can be omitted on Windows):

`./gradlew assemble`


The command above packages a full distribution of Solr server; the 
package can be located at:

`solr/packaging/build/solr-*`

Note that the gradle build does not create or copy binaries throughout the
source repository so you need to switch to the packaging output folder above;
the rest of the instructions below remain identical. The packaging directory 
is rewritten on each build. 

For development, especially when you have created test indexes etc, use
the `./gradlew dev` task which will copy binaries to `./solr/packaging/build/dev`
but _only_ overwrite the binaries which will preserve your test setup.

## Running Solr

After [building Solr](#building-lucene-solr), the server can be started using
the `bin/solr` control scripts.  Solr can be run in either standalone or
distributed (SolrCloud mode).

To run Solr in standalone mode, run the following command from the `solr/`
directory:

`bin/solr start`

To run Solr in SolrCloud mode, run the following command from the `solr/`
directory:

`bin/solr start -c`

The `bin/solr` control script allows heavy modification of the started Solr.
Common options are described in some detail in solr/README.txt.  For an
exhaustive treatment of options, run `bin/solr start -h` from the `solr/`
directory.

### Gradle build and IDE support

- *IntelliJ* - IntelliJ idea can import the project out of the box. 
               Code formatting conventions should be manually adjusted. 
- *Eclipse*  - Not tested.
- *Netbeans* - Not tested.


### Gradle build and tests

`./gradlew assemble` will build a runnable Solr as noted above.

`./gradlew check` will assemble Lucene/Solr and run all validation
  tasks unit tests.

`./gradlew help` will print a list of help commands for high-level tasks. One
  of these is `helpAnt` that shows the gradle tasks corresponding to ant
  targets you may be familiar with.
