![]() This provided a great demo interface and showed that we could process lots of data quickly and still gain valuable insights.īack in the spring of 2013, Lucidworks was interested in having multiple options for how to present their Apache Solr-based search platform, Lucidworks Search. After I joined Avalon, I improved this example and added the USP/USAP interface on top of the Enron emails. Ryan built a simple example using Amazon Elastic MapReduce and the Enron email data set. Around that same time, Avalon needed a way to show that we could process large data sets effectively. Ryan completed a project with a large insurance company processing a billion emails before I joined Avalon. Little did Sam know at the time, but USAP predated the now popular Elastic Kibana application. USP and USAP were used for a few projects and many demos at Avalon. Sam explained the rationale behind the two projects and how he thought that search would enable analytics. These were web applications designed to use search engines for analytics and finding insights about your data. Sam developed USP (Unified Search Platform) and USAP (Unified Search and Analytics Platform). This early mentorship has shaped much of my career at Avalon since I have focused on search and Hadoop. Sam mentored me on search and Ryan guided me on big data and Hadoop. When I joined Avalon Consulting, LLC in January 2013, I was fortunate to immediately have two senior technical mentors: Sam and Ryan. 2013 - Introduction to Solr and Hadoop Spring 2013 - Joining Avalon Consulting, LLC In this post I wanted to outline some of my experiences and what led to my contributing to Apache Solr – specifically the Solr JDBC driver.

I wrote this ~3 years after joining Avalon to relect on my time there and on becoming a Apache Lucene/Solr committer. I worked for Avalon Consulting, LLC from 2013-2017. ![]() Cross posting to my blog with minor edits on the 2 year anniversary of the announcement of me becoming an Apache Lucene/Solr committer.
