barracuda with apache solr 3.x

There are plans to make it optional: http://drupal.org/node/1851318#comment-6780318

@omega8cc updates on making it optional?

Not yet. Maybe in the BOA-2.0.7. Changing to postponed to sync the status with #1851318: Nutch 2.1, Solr 4

+1

We are switching everything from Tomcat to Jetty.

if we are using the tomcat solr now, will it be a transparant switchover when you start using jetty?

Will using jetty reduce minimum RAM requirements or will it remain the same as before with Tomcat.

I am using debian 64 and really dont want to change my server to ubuntu... will you add support for solr 4 to debian 64 servers?

@AntiNSA isn't the feature included in the second commit above:
Use Jetty 8 for Solr 4 on systems with Java 1.6 or Jetty 9 for Solr 4 when Java 1.7 is available.

ok so you mean that SR4 in extras will automatically check if you are on precise or not and give you jetty 9 if you are on precise? Maybe this isnt the right forum, but is jetty 9 much better than jetty 8? Is it that difficult to get java 1.7 goin on debian 64?

just have a look at the documentation
https://github.com/omega8cc/nginx-for-drupal/blob/master/docs/SOLR.txt

BOA script does check OS type/version( debian or Ubuntu) on initial installation and set the repositories accordingly. Debian repo is set of for debian and ubuntu version specific repo for Ubuntu. I think then the solr option should do things accoording to the OS it being installed on.

from my current fresh install experiance with debian 64 it installs jetty 9 even though in the extras doccumentation it says jetty 9 is only for precice. I can get solr 3.x to work and show search results from index, and if you switch from solr4 to solr3 or switch from solr 3 to solr 4 I can tell you there is no doccumentated way to kill the previous install that I am aware of. However, I can make solr3 show the search results when changing to the proper port as described in the solr doccumentation... however when using the port and placing the config files for solr 4 I can only get search results to display title and author... the body is not displayed... and despite placing the config files in the correct positions, uninstalling and reinstalling the solr module, I can find no doccumentation or settings which say to index the body of certain content trypes to be displayed in the search results. I would like to have the 2 yeara of incresed efficiency solr 4 has to offer over solr 3.... but I lost a day or two trying to get it to work with no go.
