Integrate Apache Solr search results with enterprise data with Teiid

Image
By
Apache Solr is a full text search engine built on top of Apache Lucene for indexing and searching any data contents. This is been widely used by many organisations for their searching needs.

 Typically when a user wants to use Apache Solr, they will configure an instance of Apache Solr or SolrCloud with relevant indexing fields and publish all their data/documents that instance to be indexed. Once the documents are indexed, they can use Solr APIs to search the documents and use it for their purposes. This is where I believe Teiid can help ease the uploading of the enterprise data and with integration of search results with other data sources.

 Starting with Teiid 8.7.Alpha1, Teiid provides translator for Apache Solr. Using this translator, user can 

  1. Continually add/update the documents in the search system from other sources automatically.
  2. If the search fields are stored in Solr system, this can be used as very low latency data retrieval for serving high traffic applications
  3. Solr translator be used as fast full text search, where the Solr document only contained the index information, then use the results as inverted index to gather target full documents from the other enterprise sources such as RDBMS, Web Service, SalesForce etc, all in single client call transparently with out any coding.
To illustrate this integration in an example I wrote this article, please read on.. Integrate Apache Solr with Teiid

Let us know if you have any comments or questions in Teiid forums.

Thanks.

Ramesh..

Teiid Spring Boot 1.7.0 Released

By
Teiid Spring Boot version 1.7.0 to support Teiid 16.0 has been released. This release is mainly to support the Teiid's latest version.  In this release, the support for OpenAPI code generation based on VDB has been removed as there is no community interest and moreover it was at OpenAPI 2.0, and the industry has moved to 3.0 and beyond. There are no plans to further pursue this feature. VDB maven plugin was also removed, which was intended to be a replacement for the VDB importing feature was to be used when working on OpenShift, however, since it requires the Maven repository and does not completely represent the feature as defined on the WildFly based deployments this is also removed. You can still use the VDB import feature with Teiid Spring Boot, simply define the VDB with your "IMPORT DATABASE" statements and provide the additional files along with the main VDB file. During the start of the application, Teiid Spring Boot will load all the necessary DDL files for the ...

For that matter you can expose any data source that is supported by Teiid through its translators as OData service. You can convert Relational databases XML, JSON, CSV files Web Services  Sales Force Excel documents sources, or write your on top of your specific source. Teiid added support for exposing its virtual database (VDB) as OData service without any additional work. Create a virtual database with your required sources and create any additional views and deploy in the the JBoss EAP 6.1 server, that has Teiid 8.3 or greater installed.  See https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/teiid84final/OData+Support  for more information. So, lets build a simple example of exposing the Excel Sheet.
