Apache Lucene: Then & Now

Doug Cutting originally wrote Lucene in 1997-98. While suitable for any application which requires full text indexing and searching capability, Lucene has been widely recognized for its utility in the implementation of Internet search engines and local, single-site searching. In this talk, Doug will share background on the impetus and creation of Lucene, the evolution of the project and its recent integration with Apache Hadoop, and explain what the core technology has enabled today. Doug will also share his thoughts on what the future holds for Lucene and SOLR.

Only 51K views? Definitely a "hidden" gem for anyone (like me) working in search! Thanks for sharing the talk! Wish I'd be sitting there in the audience some day.

Great talk, I've been working with solr the past two years and its great to see its creator talking about it

Wonderful session ever seen on Lucene and Solr. I have been working on the Lucene since 4 years. And got to know good things to integrate Lucene with latest technologies like Hadoop, MapReducer, etc.. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@AbdulRauf-yy2ws]

Indeed, I have learned a lot today. Thanks Doug.

[@daviddaytona]

Very cool. Thanks to Doug and the group for sharing this talk. We're at a point of either upgrading our Lucene or migrating. This talk is very informative.

[@DeepSukhwani]

Quite an amazingly insightful talk. Thanks Twitter and thanks Doug Cutting

[@JelleHerold]

Bit of a misleading title, sounds a bit more like a cloudera sales talk in the end. Was hoping for some more in depth information about modern Lucene from Doug. In any case, thanks for sharing.

Got myself updated on Lucene and tools around it

[@melonangie]

One of the best Lucene presentations out there.

Is there a link to the project mentioned around 32:00 ?

[@khwla51]

Is lucene a bottom up approach?

[@random_nick_for_comments]

If there is today's talk? Cloudera obviously dead in 2019, but lucene not

[@ashwinshetty8072]

well well I purchased "Mastering Apache Solr" Authored my Mathieu Nayrolles from Amazon the book was crisp, to the point and helped solving my issues. However layout of the book could have been better. Over all its a Good book on Apache Solr

Doug cutting rocks

[@salkdjfasldkfjsdlk]

Um, uh. I can't watch this. Relax man.

[@kevyelyod1211]

Did this guy get money for making this technology?

[@anibaldk]

Well done writing Lucene, but he should really improve his presentation skills. Hum, hum, aaah, hum...

[@Alkis05]

It's like he uses "hum, aah, ..." as punctuation marks [uhm], specially for commas[aah].
