Grant’s Grunts: Lucene Edition

ApacheCon EU 2008
Schedule is out for ApacheCon Europe.  I will be doing my Lucene Boot Camp training and a Lucene Performance talk.  Erik Hatcher will also be doing a Solr Boot Camp and a Lucene/Solr talk.  There will also be some Hadoop talks.

The latest version of my slides for “Advanced Lucene” are located at http://www.cnlp.org/presentations/present.asp?show=conference
Talk covered term vectors, using various query types and Lucene performance tips and tricks.

My (slightly old) slides for ApacheCon Europe are now available in the conference proceedings available at http://eu.apachecon.com/downloads/materials.zip
I will post the latest version soon, but there is very little difference between this version and the latest.
Topics covered include Lucene performance, term vectors and query tips and tricks.
Feedback is always welcome
