Apache Solr installed for JIra Index Setting

Khalid Bin Sattar_gg56ad

I have one question. I have installed Apache Solr for Jira Index setting. I have configured the Core Solr and checked all the queries works fine. But I have seen most of the guides and suggestions support Lucene for this purpose. As I am a newbie in Jira field, Could any one just enlighten me that am I going properly or should I need to install Lucene ? Previously I have heard that Solr is easier and best option than Lucene and that's why I have installed it.Also how should I get the Jira data set to test the indexing or queries?  Please help me with this.

 

Thanks

You don't just rip out a core component of a piece of software and jam in an alternative like that.  That is a bit like buying a petrol-powered Rolls Royce and saying "I'll just throw away the Rolls Royce engine and drop in a Tesla one".

You've got quite a lot of work to do - start by downloading the source code of Jira, then you'll need to find and rewrite every interface between the main logic and the index.  Bear in mind that this will render your Jira unsupported and you'll need to re-apply and re-test all your code changes on every possible upgrade.  It took years for Atlassian just to upgrade the version of Lucence in use for version 8 of Jira, moving to another search system is a much bigger task.
