  II. SpringBoot & Solr

  

SpringBoot provides spring-boot-starter-data-solr Starter to support connecting and abstractions on top of Spring Data Solr.

1. Solr connection

In application.properties file, We use spring.data.solr.* to configure Solr connection.
Here is the details of sourcecode - SolrProperties:

@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.data.solr")
public class SolrProperties {

    /**
     * Solr host. Ignored if "zk-host" is set.
     */
    private String host = "http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr";

    /**
     * ZooKeeper host address in the form HOST:PORT.
     */
    private String zkHost;
    
    ...

}
