When is Solr Really the Best Tool?
The session, “Use Case Diagnosis – When is Solr Really the Best Tool?,” by Michael Hausenblas, Chief Data Engineer at MapR, will present an overview of common big data use cases in the form of a set of questions that can be used to determine what kind of problem you really have. From the answers to these questions, you can quickly find out about what technologies are likely to be most productive, useful, and easy to apply. This analysis will also allow you to discern cases where Solr is not a good fit, but where augmentation with other big data systems like HBase leads to feasible architectures. Conversely, you will see cases where Solr can be the hero by filling the gaps where big data systems alone are destined to fail.
This introductory level session will take place from 2:45-3:30 on Thursday, November 7. Click here for more details.
