Hello everyone,

I am presenting my book "*Inside Solr and Lucene: **Algorithms and
Engineering Deep Dive*". (*I have three books out on Amazon=E2=80=94it just=
 so
happened that they were released simultaneously, and there's synergy there
- all of them are about Search & Recsys*).

"Inside Solr and Lucene" differs from others on the topic of Solr/Lucene in
that it describes the algorithms and data structures used there, starting
from the problem that faced the developers, then examining naive or
straightforward solutions, and further sharing how the architects in
Solr/Lucene solved the problem. In very many cases, these are interesting,
science-intensive solutions, backed by scientific works and papers (links
are available in the book).

For example, I talk not only about the inverted index, posting lists, and
how segments are stored=E2=80=94you can find it in other books=E2=80=94but =
also about how
Finite-State Transducer (FST) is used there (this is a graph-based
structure for term dictionaries, storing terms and metadata with shared
prefixes/suffixes, solving high-memory usage and slow prefix/range queries
in large vocabularies by providing compact, O(length of term) lookups); I
talk about Pulsing Codec, Delta Encoding, Skip Lists, PackedInts
(bit-packing algorithm that uses minimal bits per integer block based on
the maximum value), Variable-Length Integers, LSM-Tree, HNSW for vectors,
Roaring Bitmaps, LZ4 and DEFLATE compressions, Memory-Mapped I/O,
Scatter-Gather Query Execution, Hash-Based Routing, SIMD Vectorization and
a lot of other things of this kind.

For solution architects and search engineers. Paperback and e-book
versions. Worldwide delivery. I hope you will find it useful.
