Do I need to manually register the indexer class?

No, thanks to CDI auto-discovery, any @ApplicationScoped class that implements the SolrIndexer interface is automatically registered by the plugin-solr framework.

What version of Lutece does this skill support?

This skill is specifically designed for Lutece 8 and later, utilizing its modern CDI-based architecture and plugin system.

Can I index geolocation data for map searches?

Yes, the skill includes implementation patterns for addDynamicFieldGeoloc which supports address, longitude, and latitude mapping.

How does the indexer handle incremental updates?

It observes CDI ResourceEvent objects fired during CRUD operations in your service layer to queue indexing actions automatically via the SolrIndexerDaemon.

What is the purpose of dynamic fields in this context?

Dynamic fields allow you to index custom entity attributes (like status codes or tags) without modifying the core Solr schema, enabling filtering and faceting.

Simplifies the implementation of Solr search modules for Lutece 8 applications using standardized patterns and CDI auto-discovery.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for Lutece 8 developers to integrate Solr search capabilities into their modules. It streamlines the creation of SolrIndexer implementations, handles both full and incremental indexing via CDI events, and provides a clear mapping for dynamic fields. By following the standardized reference patterns, it ensures that search features are consistent, high-performing, and easy to maintain across different Lutece entities and plugins.

Key Features

CDI Auto-discovery: Automatically registers indexers using @ApplicationScoped annotations.
1 GitHub stars
Reference Implementation: Follows the established forms-solr pattern for architectural consistency.
Incremental Updates: Real-time search index synchronization using Lutece Resource Events and CDI listeners.
Batch Indexing: Efficiently handles large datasets with configurable batch processing logic.
Dynamic Field Mapping: Built-in support for text, keywords, dates, numbers, and geolocation fields.

Use Cases

Managing complex search facets and filtering using Solr dynamic fields for entity metadata.
Implementing real-time search updates when entities are created, modified, or deleted.
Adding full-text search capabilities to a custom Lutece 8 business module.
