The Apache Lucene/Solr community is continuing its rapid release cycles to meet community and customer requirements. In this guest blog, we have invited Sarath Jarugula from Lucidworks to share with us the many improvements in the Apache Solr 5.2 release.

The Apache Solr community has announced its Solr 5.2 release. Solr 5.2 is a follow-up release to Solr 5.0, a significant major release in February 2015. The community has delivered 25 new features, 5 optimizations, and 38 bug fixes in this release.

Solr is now an integral part of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem, and has become a key component of the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP). Using Apache Solr and the Hortonworks Data Platform, enterprises are able to realize use cases supporting both batch and real-time processing needs.
