Checking examples in “Solr Indexing” with Solr 4.7 under Windows – part 1
It’s been 9 months since my introductory Solr book came out. It was written for version 4.3. In the meanwhile, Solr kept marching on and is now at version 4.7. There has been quite a number of changes and new features. So I really wanted to recheck that the examples in the book still make sense. I also wanted to do the tests on Windows to see whether the *nix-centered instructions in the book caused any issues.
This first part covers the issues and supplementary material based on the review of the first five chapters. Later parts will be covered in other blog posts. So far, it seems that the examples survived without any serious issues.
