Latest compatible versions of Nutch and Solr

Question

I see different combinations of Nutch and Solr versions being used by people posting about this subject on the web. Which are the latest stable (non beta) and compatible versions of Nutch and Solr that I can download and setup without building sources and just configuring ?

Answer 1

You can use Nutch 2.1 or Nutch 1.6. If you want to use HBase, have to use Nutch 2.x. Because nutch 1.6 not support Hbase. I use nutch 2.1, HBase 0.90.x or 0.94.5 , and Solr 4.3.0.

There are major changes between the two Solr versions (Solr 3.x and Solr 4.x). You must choose one of them according to your requirement. Ex: Solr4 support cloud better.

Answer 2

Here are some suggested compatible versions of Nutch and Solr based on what the Nutch's creators are announcing in their website here:

+-------+--------+
| Nutch |  Solr  |
+-------+--------+
| 2.3.1 | 4.10.3 |
|   2.3 |  4.8.1 |
+-------+--------+

Feel free to add more versions. The tool I used to generate this table can be found here.
