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, bypassing the HTTP layer. If you need to do remote queries in ruby consider using something like 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
