DESCRIPTION
Chef-solr provides search service for Chef. You need to have both chef-solr and chef-expander-cluster running in order for search to work.

Installation

Make sure you backed up your data if you are upgrading from a previous version. Run chef-solr-installer to upgrade your Chef Solr installation. Answer "yes" when prompted for confirmation. The process should look like this:

    yourshell> chef-solr-installer
    Configuration setting solr_heap_size is unknown and will be ignored
    Chef Solr is already installed in /var/chef/solr
    Do you want to overwrite the current install? All existing Solr data will be lost. [y/n] y
    Removing the existing Chef Solr installation
      rm -rf /var/chef/solr
      rm -rf /var/chef/solr-jetty
      rm -rf /var/chef/solr/data
    Creating Solr Home Directory
      mkdir -p /var/chef/solr
      entering /var/chef/solr
      tar zxvf /Users/ddeleo/opscode/chef/chef-solr/solr/solr-home.tar.gz
    Creating Solr Data Directory
      mkdir -p /var/chef/solr/data
    Unpacking Solr Jetty
      mkdir -p /var/chef/solr-jetty
