Description

Some use cases need near real time full text indexing of data through Flume into Solr, where a Flume sink can write directly to a Solr search server. This is a scalable way to provide low latency querying and data acquisition. It complements (rather than replaces) use cases based on Map Reduce batch analysis of HDFS data.

Apache Solr has a client API that uses REST to add documents to a Solr server, which in turn is based on Lucene. A Solr Sink can extract documents from flume events and forward them to Solr.
