public class Search { public interface Iface { public ListingResults search(String query) throws TException; }

Generated Java server code:

Generated PHP client code: class SearchClient implements SearchIf {

/**...**/ public function search($query) { $this->send_search($query); return $this->recv_search(); }

Architecture OverviewThrift

• Service Encapsulation• Reduced Network Traffic

Why use Thrift?

Architecture OverviewThrift

• Index Size• Easy to scale PK lookups

Why only return IDs?

The Search Server

Architecture OverviewSearch Server

• Identical Code + Hardware• Roles/Behavior controlled by Env variables• Single Java Process• Solr running as a Jetty Servlet• Thrift Servers • Smoker

$serversNew = array();

$numServers = count($servers); while($numServers > 0) {

// Take the first 4 chars of the md5sum of the server count // and the query, mod the available servers $key = hexdec(substr(md5($numServers . '+' . $query),0,4))%($numServers); $keySet = array_keys($servers); $serverId = $keySet[$key];

// Push the chosen server onto the new list and remove it // from the initial list array_push($serversNew, $servers[$serverId]); unset($servers[$serverId]); --$numServers;

ReplicationMulticast Rsync?

[15:25]  <engineer> patrick: i'm gonna test multi-rsyncing some indexes from host1 to host2 and host3 in prod. I'll be watching the graphs and what not, but let me know if you see anything funky with the network[15:26]  <patrick> ok....

[15:31]  <keyur> is the site down?

@Override  public Query parse() throws ParseException { TermQuery exactFullNameQuery = new TermQuery(new Term("full_name", qstr));    exactFullNameQuery.setBoost(4.0f);

    String[] userQueryTerms = qstr.split("\\s+");    Query firstLastQuery = null;

Solr InterOpQParsersThe QParserPlugin that returns our new QParser: public class PersonNameRealQParserPlugin extends QParserPlugin {   public static final String NAME = "personrealqp";

   @Override   public void init(NamedList args) {}

   @Override   public QParser createParser(String qstr, SolrParams localParams,

SolrParams params, SolrQueryRequest req) {     return new PersonNameRealQParser(qstr, localParams, params, req);   } }

Registering the plugin in solrconfig.xml:

Custom Stemmer

Solr InterOpCustom Stemmer

Solr InterOpCustom Stemmer

banded, banding, birding, bouldering, bounded, buffing, bundler, canning, carded, circled, coupler, dangler, doubler, firring, foiling, hooper, japanned, lipped, napped, papered, pebbled, pitted, pocketed, reductive, ricer, rooter, roper, seeded, shouldered, silvered, skinning, spindling, staining, stitcher,

strapped, threaded, yellowing

Solr InterOpCustom StemmerFirst we extend KStemmer and intercept stem calls:

public class LStemmer extends KStemmer {

/**.....**/

     @Override     String stem(String term) {         String override = overrideStemTransformations.get(term);         if(override != null) return override;         return super.stem(term);     } }

Solr InterOpCustom Stemmer

Then create a TokenFilter that uses the new Stemmer:

final class LStemFilter extends TokenFilter {

/**.....**/         protected LStemFilter(TokenStream input, int cacheSize) { super(input); stemmer = new LStemmer(cacheSize); }          @Override public boolean incrementToken() throws IOException { /**....**/ }

Solr InterOpCustom Stemmer

Create a FilterFactory that exposes it:

public class LStemFilterFactory extends BaseTokenFilterFactory { private int cacheSize = 20000;     @Override public void init(Map<String, String> args) { super.init(args);     String cacheSizeStr = args.get("cacheSize");     if (cacheSizeStr != null) {      cacheSize = Integer.parseInt(cacheSizeStr);     }   }     @Override   public TokenStream create(TokenStream in) {    return new LStemFilter(in, cacheSize);   } }

Solr InterOpCustom Stemmer

And finally plug it into your analysis chain:

<analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true"

words="solr/common/conf/stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="com.etsy.solr.analysis.LStemFilterFactory" /> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer>
