What you need for this book

The Getting started section in Chapter 1, Quick Starting Solr, explains what you need in detail. In summary, you should obtain:

  • Java 8, a JDK release. Java 7 is fine too. Support for Java 6 was last available in Solr 4.7. More information on this is in Chapter 1, Quick Starting Solr.
  • Apache Solr 4.8.1 is officially the version of Solr this book was written for. Nonetheless, some of the features are discussed or referenced in the later versions of Solr as far as 5.0. In fact, Chapter 1, Quick Starting Solr, orients you to Solr 5, which has a different first-impression experience than its predecessor. Once you get Solr running, you should be able to follow along easily with Solr 5. In Chapter 10, Scaling Solr, there are some SolrCloud startup commands that are a little different, and we've pointed out how they change. The only substantial topic not covered in this book that evolved through the Solr 4 point releases is data-driven schemaless mode, and HTTP API calls to make schema changes.
  • The code supplement to the book. It's not essential, but you'll want it to try some of the examples or to experiment with a sizable amount of real data. See the Downloading the example code section.
