Releasing our new SOLR search infrastructure | MusicBrainz Blog

Hey folks, samj1912 here again o/

As you might know, we recently did a massive upgrade of our search infrastructure. To read more about it check out our other blog detailing our Search server journey.

We have had a beta run with SOLR this last week and fixed most of the show-stopping bugs. As such, we have been stress testing our SOLR search by replaying our production logs on it, live.

SOLR search seems to solve almost all our qualms with search and as such, we have made the decision to use SOLR for our production search servers.

The purpose of this blog post, as nicely worded by our BDFL Rob is –

Speak now or forever hold your pickle. In a week, the ole search servers gets it.

And it’s basically that, if you haven’t experimented with SOLR search, please read our earlier blog to know what’s what. And in case you do find any show-stoppers that must absolutely be fixed before we switch to SOLR on the main website, we will be killing the old search servers and replacing them with our branch new SOLR ones.

Apart from that, we have made a discourse thread to report any minor improvements in the search results.

Another thing, I’d like to remind everyone is that, with our switch to this new SOLR infrastructure, the version 1 web service (ws/1)will soon be discontinued. As announced earlier, we will keep it alive till 31st July 2018 but it will get the axe on 1st August 2018, 12 pm GMT.
