Flare/ToDo

Next Tasks

• Start tying user interface to the solr-ruby API.

• Host Flare in an Apache Zone, with nightly builds, using solr-user e-mail list archives for demo data

Brainstorming

API

• Paging Facets: needed to handle large number of facet values (start / rows)

• Hierarchical facets, like /ComputerScience/ProgrammingLanguages/java|ruby

• Auto-suggest feature, with paging

• Implement Flamenco formatted file import: http://flamenco.berkeley.edu/data.html (maybe? useful?)

UI

• Sorting, drag and drop of facet constraints

• Ranking (advanced interface), allowing user to slide relevance factors for each constraint leveraging FunctionQuery

• Grouping: expand/collapse based on sort order of groupings (Maybe modify start/rows of request handlers to allow specifying how many of each unique primary sort to return, not just individual results).

• search results

  • display tags/annotations

  • customizable layout

• tags/users: first class facet citizens, add to solr document

• Annotations searchable / facetable / suggestable

Solr Core

• Implement updateable docs in Solr
