Spring Data for Apache Solr

Migrated version to Spring framework 6

The primary goal of the Spring Data project is to make it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud based data services.

The Spring Data for Apache Solr project provides integration with the Apache Solr search engine

Providing its own extensible MappingSolrConverter as alternative to DocumentObjectBinder Spring Data for Apache Solr handles inheritance as well as usage of custom Types such as Point or DateTime

Features

• High level repository abstractions with multicore support

• Annotations for Boost-, Facet- and Highlighting

• Customizable type mappings and type conversions

• Solr template supporting fluent query api

• Exception translation to Spring’s portable Data Access exception hierarchy

Getting Started

Here is a quick teaser of an application using Spring Data Repositories in Java:

public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {

  List<Person> findByLastname(String lastname);

  List<Person> findByFirstnameLike(String firstname);
}

@Service
public class MyService {

  private final PersonRepository repository;

  public MyService(PersonRepository repository) {
    this.repository = repository;
  }

  public void doWork() {

    repository.deleteAll();

    Person person = new Person();
    person.setFirstname("Christoph");
    person.setLastname("Strobl");
    repository.save(person);

    List<Person> lastNameResults = repository.findByLastname("Strobl");
    List<Person> firstNameResults = repository.findByFirstnameLike("C*");
 }
}

@Configuration
@EnableSolrRepositories(schemaCreationSupport = true)
class Config {

  @Bean
  public SolrClient solrClient() {
    return new HttpSolrClient("http://localhost:8983/solr");
  }
}
