Alfresco Solr Querying for Contents

Question

We are working on Integrating a search application[Custom Java aplication] with Alfresco Solr. This application will have to provide users to search against contents indexed by Alfresco Solr.

Question:

• Can we copy the Solr Index on to another Solr core and use the app against the new core.

  Or

• Can we query directly against the solr services directly in Java?

Any references to WIKI or source code for either option is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I do not think there is any issue if you directly read solr indexes created by alfresco.

You can normally find solr indexes of alfresco under /alf_data
