What you need for this book

We are going to cover various approaches to Solr indexing. Each chapter will introduce different approaches with different software. Also, each chapter will cover the installation steps/instructions needed to run the examples for the specific scenario.

The minimal installation which we'll need to run the example code are as follows:

• JDK 1.6+ (the JAVA_HOME variable should be set up correctly on the system path)
• Apache Solr 4.10.1
• The cURL tool (Windows users can download it from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html)
