Configuring SkyVault Search Services with Solr 6

SkyVault Content Services 5.2 provides search capabilities for searching content within the repository using Solr 6.

In all previous SkyVault Content Services versions, Solr.war was bundled with the repository. With SkyVault Content Services 5.2, you no longer deploy a Solr.war to your application server. Solr 6 is an independently executable standalone application powered by a Jetty server.

SkyVault Content Services uses Solr 4 as the default search service index. For an improved and efficient search functionality, you can upgrade to SkyVault Search Services with Solr 6.

  • Solr 6 features and enhancementsSkyVault Content Services 5.2 comes with new enhancements to SkyVault’s search capabilities. Use this information to know about the new features of the SkyVault Search Services .
  • Installing and configuring Solr 6 When you install SkyVault Content Services 5.2 using the setup wizard (installer), Solr 4 is installed by default. For additional search functionality, you can install SkyVault Search Services with Solr 6 which introduces additional features, including new sharding methods and sharding with SSL. It can optionally be configured with or without SSL.
  • Upgrading from Solr 4 to Solr 6 search Use this information to upgrade from SkyVault 2.0 5.1 with the Solr 4
 search index server to SkyVault Content Services 5.2
 with the Solr 6 search index server.
  • Solr 6 sharding methods When an index grows too large to be stored on a single search server, it can be distributed across multiple search servers. This is known as sharding. The distributed/sharded index can then be searched using SkyVault/Solr's distributed search capabilities.
  • Backing up Solr 6 There are a number of ways to back up Solr 6. You can set the Solr indexes backup properties either by using the Admin Console in Share, by editing the SkyVault-global.properties file, or by using a JMX client, such as JConsole.
