We’re speaking at a couple of events soon: if you’re in London and interested in Apache Lucene/Solr we’re also planning another London User Group Meetup soon.
Firstly my colleague Alan Woodward is speaking with Martin Kleppman at FOSDEM in Brussels (31st January-1st February) on Searching over streams with Luwak and Apache Samza – about some fascinating work they’ve been doing to combine the powerful ‘reverse search’ facilities of our Luwak library with Apache Samza‘s distributed, stream-based processing. We’re hoping this means we can scale Luwak beyond its current limits (although those limits are pretty accomodating, as we know of systems where a million or so stored searches are applied to a million incoming messages every day). If you’re interested in open source search the Devroom they’re speaking in has lots of other great talks planned.
Next I’m talking about the wider applications of this kind of reverse search in the area of media monitoring, and how open source software in general can help you turn your organisation’s infrastructure upside down, at the Intrateam conference event in Copenhagen from February 24th-26th. Scroll down to find my talk at 11.35 am on Thursday 26th.
If you’d like to meet us at either of these events do get in touch.
