SOLR Integration

Permalink
Hi - Does anyone know of any SOLR blocks out there? Im just about to write one and thought it was worth checking to see if anyone had already done this/was in the process of doing so! I was thinking of using Solarium to create a configurable search block.

Cheers

Also interested in Solr based search... So far no ready components for concrete5 found.
Random notes after a brief research:
1. It looks like Solarium does not support binary files (doc, xls, etc.) - /solr/update/extract ExtractingRequestHandler in Solr terms. But this feature in on Solarium roadmap.
2. It should be a robust extension:
- hook into concrete5 event infrastructure to handle document/files update, not sure concrete5 is ready for clean implementation of another search backend in its current state
- submit small documents to Solr instantly
- submit large attachments to queue
- process queue via job
- reindex the whole site
- handle multiple languages, both on pages and in attachments
- provide highlighting
- search in multiple Solr fields: dismax or...
3. Must be a concrete5 expirience: provide Solr config/schema and instructions for developers not familiar with Java and Solr to get it running out-of-the box.

Just wondering: how many people would buy such a plugin and what is the right price?
