May Meetup: What's new in Solr 6?

Hi everyone,

we're going to meet again on May 31st with a talk about the Solr ecosystem. Solr is strongly improving on many sides Shalin will tell us where it goes.

Title: What’s New in Solr 6?

Abstract: Apache Solr 6 was a major new release for Solr released in April. This session will introduce some of the major new features in Apache Solr 6 such as a new parallel streaming SQL engine, JDBC support, basic graph traversal queries, cross data center replication and many major optimizations. These features advance the query and analytics capabilities of Solr as well as improve scalability and fault tolerance of Solr further cementing its status as the de-facto search engine for Hadoop-scale search.
