I am trying to configure SOLR indexing with AEM 6.1 but struggling with the following: -
What type of installation should be used for SOLR (embedded v/s
remote).
How to configure the selected installation with AEM 6.1.
How to determine whether the indexing has been successfully done.
Any help would be extremely appriciated.
I did lot of research on SOLR with AEM 6.0. I think I can answer to your question.
It depends on what are the requirements of the client. If the clients needs a quick search response and it have lot of content, you should prefer remove vs embedded. If the site has small content, the embedded could be sufficient. The remote permit to have a sharded cluster, so you can optimize the concurrent search response by adding more shared
The documentation of AEM is pretty well documented about this. You can find here: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/deploy/platform/queries-and-indexing.html
Finally you can see the indexation well configured by enabling the logging configuration about the search (Look for to Enable Logging in the previous URL). You can test your search with tool in the ACS-Common with tools in ACS-Tools (http://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-tools/)
Hope this will help you.

I've stumbled upon these projects, as I searched for AEM Solr integration:
https://github.com/headwirecom/aem-solr-search
https://github.com/infielddesign/aem-id-solrindexer
Maybe it will help you with the Solr integration and configuration.
And as already mentioned above, the type of installation highly depends on your customer requirements.

I've a database with approximately 50k records and I've just migrated it to TYPO3 v8. I'm looking for some efficient search extension. What would you suggest?
Some time ago I've been using ke_search extension, but I've just tested it and it does not work at TYPO3 v8, it's not compatible. I need flexible solution, where I can easly create new filtering options in search formular. Due to this I don't consider native search extension indexed_search. I've heared about Apache Solr, but yet didn't have an occasion to integrate it for the needs of TYPO3 CMS. What are the possibilities?
In my opinion, Solr are the only option if ke_search doesn't work.
Use this extension - https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/solr - the manual is detailed and should help you with the settings.
I saw there was a article in the Apache wiki on OpenNLP for Solr.
Is it valid for current solr version 5.3.1?
No, if you have a look at LUCENE-2899, you'll see that the code discussed was never added to trunk. You'll have to download/patch/update the code yourself if you're going to have it native to Solr.
It's probably a better idea to do all the NLP stuff outside of Solr, then index the result in a form suited for the task you're trying to solve.
Yes. It's better to keep it outside.
Here is a small project I tried.

We need to integrate a search engine in our plataform Catalog management software in Share point. The information is stored in multiple databases and a storage of files ( doc , ppt , pdf .....). Our dev platform is Asp.Net and we have done some pre-liminary work on Lucene, found it to be good. However, we just came to know of Solr.
We need to continue using lucene, but we need to defend her the solr.
Please any help is accepted.
And sorry for my english.
Lucene is a full-text search library used to provide search functionalities to an application. It can't be used as an application by itself. Solr is a complete search engine built around Lucene providing its search functionalities and others. Solr is a web application that can be used by itself without any development around it.
If you need a search engine to be called by your application I recommend you to use Solr.
I am trying to implement solr into sitecore but could not find any way for creating a Solr instance for the same. I have few PDFs from SDN I could find any way to create Solr instance in any. Considering that I am new to CMS I hope I could get some help here. Thank you
There are lots of resources available for setting up Solr, and integrating Sitecore.
Essentially Sitecore is ignorant with respects to how you setup Solr (barring a few exceptions), so you need to follow standard methods to set Solr up. If you are doing this on your local machine, then I recommend you simply download Solr and get it running through the provided Jetty App Server.
Once Solr is running, download the Solr Extensions from SDN, then follow the search scaling guide to integrate Solr. This really only boils down to the following;
Remove Lucene config files
Add Solr config files and binaries
Add Solr endpoint into relevant config
Generate Solr Schema via Sitecore -> Control Panel -> Search (within Sitecore)
Add Schema file to Solr Core configuration
et voila
There is a great guide here: http://www.dansolovay.com/2013/05/setting-up-solr-with-sitecore-7.html
I am planning to add a full-text search engine for searching a MySQL database to a website. Most recommendations on a nice, user-friendly implementation I found, mentioned the use of Apache Solr.
Keeping this in mind I started searching for the requirements for a hoster to use Solr but I didn't find any useful information expect for "it should support java". So I picked a random host that states it has Java JRE installed (http://wiki.dreamhost.com/What_We_Support) and asked if they supported Solr. Unfortunately, the answer was "no".
So, what would I need to be looking for? Do I need a dedicated server, a VPN, or are there shared hosting solutions where it is possible to run Solr?
What are the system requirements?
I hope there is someone out there, who knows a bit about this. Thanks!
The Solr requirements can be found here: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrInstall
So an installed JRE is needed, but also an servlet container, which also needs an JRE.
If I would be in your situation, I would rent an virtual server.
An other option is an hosting service, specialized for solr hosting: search the web for "apache solr hosting". There are offers for free or payed offers also.
I've been running two drupal websites + apache solr on an ssd vps from rosehosting utilizing 2 cpu cores and 1gb ram. I wasn't able to setup apache solr and java myself so that's why I rented a managed vps service.
If you're not that technical I suggest you add managed to the keywords mentioned by #The Bndr and make sure you check with your host that they will support apache solr and java on your vps
