We needed a simple approach to access SOLR in our current project which led us to Solarium (www.solarium-project.org). There is no extension integrating Solarium into Yii until now. Another project (YiiSolr) is covering accessing SOLR with a less sophisticated API tho.
As all other Solr-Extensions on Yii seem to be dead, I’d be glad if this extension keeps being developed. I just installed Solr and Solarium on our servers and am looking into whether I use Solarium directly or using this extension .
Can you please elaborate on what this extension can do that Yii-solr can’t ? I’m getting hard time deciding which way to go for integrating solr in my web-app of these options:
using pure solr and communicating over http
using solarium api to integrate with solr
using yii-solr
using yiisolarium.
This question may seem naive, but please throw some light anyway. Also can you show some examples of using yiisolarium
