Subject: GSOC2017: Call to Solr and Tika/Nutch/Camel/NiFi/Zeppelin/etc mentors
To: d...@lucene.apache.org


I am mentoring in this year's Google Summer of Code (first timer!). I
know there is a couple of us from Solr project, but I also noticed
some mentors from upstream/downstream projects.

I am proposing that we put at least a couple of integration projects
to improve/upgrade Solr integration with both upstream (Tika) and
downstream (Nutch/Camel/NiFi) projects. And maybe even propose some
new projects, such as Solr backend engine for Zeppelin (so we could
have a Python Notebook-like interface to Solr, not just via JDBC
bridge, we do already).

I am not sure whose JIRAs they should go into, but the project idea
tag spans all ASF projects, so it is more important to figure out
mentor-level agreement first.

In any case, to push this forward, if we get several students all
working on Solr, I could run a Solr bootcamp class for students,
mentors, and whoever else in the sister communities wants to
participate and get more familiar with Solr. We could also run a
parallel mini-list (or Gitter room or whatever) where multiple new
implementors of Solr integrations can hang out together and progress
together.


Regards,
   Alex.
P.s. I am also working on redoing Solr examples (starting from DIH
ones at: SOLR-10311). If anybody has comments on what kind of examples
would make integrations easier, I am very receptive.
P.p.s. Feel free to forward this to the other mailing lists for other
relevant sister Apache communities.
