Apache和Apache Solr一起

Question

I've got a question: I came across Apache Solr as requirement for a module I'm installing and even after reading the documentation on Apache Solr's official homepage I'm still not sure whether Apache runs alongside regular Apache or does it require it own server? If it does work alongside Apache, is there any known issues/problems that I should be aware of? How would this architecture (Apache and Apache Solr) in terms of file system and serving pages? I'm sorry if the question might sound silly but I'm very new to the whole server-side programming/setup world.

Answer 1

You will need to install Tomcat or some other container to install Solr on a Linux box. Tomcat and Solr can be installed along side regular Apache web server, or you can use a different server.

I have done both, installed Solr on same server as well as use different server. Both work fine. It comes down to your scale, requirements, budget and other factors.

In the attached diagram1 Solr runs under Tomcat on same server as Apache web server

In the attached diagram2 Solr runs under Tomcat on different server than Apache web server. Here we have a separate server for Solr.

Let me know if you have any more questions about architecture.
