We are building an ecommerce application. We are using JAVA stack with Hibernate and Spring Framework. As with all ecommerce application, we need to build search capability into ours.
So, we came across Hibernate Search and Apache Solr . Can someone list out the pros and cons of both of them so that we can select the ideal solution for Enterprise Search?
Apache Solr is mainly used for full text search: if you want to find words (singular and plurals for example) in a big set of documents where the size of each doc is from one paragraph to a few pages. Solr may not be better than a regular database if you don’t use it for text search but only for int and varchar search.
