Acknowledgments

 

Much like Solr, this book would not have been possible without the support of a large community of dedicated people:

  • Lucene/Solr committers who not only write amazing code but also provide invaluable expertise and advice, all the while demonstrating patience with new members of the community
  • Active Lucene/Solr community members who contribute code, update the wiki and other documentation, and answer questions on the Lucene and Solr mailing lists
  • Yonik Seeley, original creator of Solr, who contributed the foreword to our book
  • Our Manning Early Access Program (MEAP) readers who posted comments in the Author Online forum
  • The reviewers who provided valuable feedback throughout the development process: Alexandre Madurell, Ammar Alrashed, Brandon Harper, Chris Nauroth, Craig Smith, Edward Welker, Gregor Zurowski, John Viviano, Leo Cassarani, Robert Petersen, Scott Anthony, Sopan Shewale, and Uma Maheshwar Rao Gunuganti
  • Ivan Todorović and John Guthrie who provided a detailed technical proofread of the manuscript shortly before it went into production
  • Our Manning editors, Elizabeth Lexleigh, Susan Conant, Melinda Rankin, Elizabeth Martin, and Janet Vail
  • Bert Bates at Manning for helping us improve the instructional quality of our writing
  • Family and friends who supported us through the many hours of research and writing
