cassandra,solr,lucandra,solandra

I am developing a site using following technologies,

Ruby on Rails,(ruby 1.8.7,rails 2.3.5) Cassandra 0.6.8,

I want to index the Cassandra Database using Lucandra, How do I do this? Is there any RESTful APIs or any web services available for this, so that I can push the data to index database? Please share if any ROR example using Lucandra, that really help us to move forward. Or Guide me some steps to achieve 开发者_JAVA技巧this.

I am googling for 3 days and I am not getting any examples using Lucandra in ROR.

Your help will be appreciated in advance

The Solandra project which is replacing Lucandra no longer uses thrift, only Solr. http://github.com/tjake/Lucandra

This means you can use any of the Solr supported gems like acts_as_solr

I'm recommending elasticsearch. It has rest api, ruby & rails clients.

Elasticsearch is the most advanced free search solution in the world today. It's based on lucene, has High Availability, fault tolerant, partitioned, high performance, scalable, state of art technologhy , open source, more simple than solr... It's success belongs to it's author Shay Banon. He has years of experience as an architect in this field. Solr (and solandra) is nowhere near of it. Simply investigate both, you'll see yourself.
