Smarter Search With Spark-Solr

Open-source spark-solr library provides a Solr-backed RDD/DataFrame so Spark reads and writes directly to Solr, letting teams store all data in Solr (no HDFS/S3) and run batch jobs, ML and faceted exploration in the same stack. Example: k-means run from Spark immediately faceted in Solr reveals one cluster with ~90% of documents, exposing data imbalance. Batch-computed item similarities or SVD recommendations are written back to Solr and served with an interpolated mixed-mode recommender parameter for quick A/B tuning.
