Lucene Bootcamp


with Grant Ingersoll
This bootcamp is an in-depth, hands-on class targeted at developers who want to integrate Lucene into their applications. The two days will cover the key concepts behind Lucene, along with code examples, documentation and resources, including new material for Lucene 2.9/3.0.

The workshop covers:
  • Lucene setup; indexing content, indexing customization; searching, including how to use the many Lucene Query APIs to achieve better search results.
  • Advanced topics like Lucene performance and threading issues, Span Queries, filters, term vectors, and sorting. These topics can help solve most common problems in search applications.
You will gain hands-on experience with Lucene and leave with the know-how to build a Lucene-based application. No prior Lucene knowledge is required, but participants must be able to code in the Java programming language, and come prepared to code.

Students are encouraged to bring their own content to index/search. Please refer to the Lucene Boot Camp website for more information on the class.
