# Solrium

A JRuby integration layer for Apache Solr/Lucene with a focus on usage from within irb.

## Features
  
  * embed solr directly into your app
  * convenience methods for searching using ruby idioms
  * jetty integration
  * bundles all necessary jars (solr, lucene & jetty)
  
I mainly wrote it as a tool for quickly prototyping/debugging lucene queries and solr parser plugins.

Note: there's limited support for remote solr queries, searching will done in-process using a [SolrIndexSearcher](http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/search/SolrIndexSearcher.html]), bypassing the HTTP layer. If you need to do remote queries in ruby consider using something like [sunspot](http://github.com/outoftime/sunspot) instead.

### Embedding solr into jirb

    $ jirb -r lib/solr.rb
    irb> solr = Solrium::Solr.new('/path/to/solr_home')
    irb> solr.search("foo")
    => [[Document: {"id"=>"1", "name_t"=>"Foomatic"}, 1.2112]] 
    
### Embedding jetty

    $ jirb -r lib/solr.rb
    irb> Solrium::Jetty.new('/path/to_solr_home').start(2000).join
    2009-05-14 13:47:24.444::INFO:  jetty-7.0.0.pre5
    ....
    INFO: SolrDispatchFilter.init() done
    2009-05-14 13:47:25.336::INFO:  Started SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:2000
