We have a customer looking to use WebSolr and CloudBees with Asian Language data. Does WebSolr support it?

Thanks.

   Hi Jim,

   Good question.

   We offer a fairly standard Solr install, which does have some capacity for
   useful Asian language analysis. For more advanced analysis, we are
   currently evaluating two additional packages for better Chinese analysis
   (Paoding, mmseg4j).

   In general, indexing and analyzing Asian language data is a relatively
   advanced subject, and we encourage our customers to do some research on
   Solr's capacities.

   If you like, we can also provide a recommendation for a consulting shop
   that specializes in Solr, has the necessary experience with Asian language
   indexing, and is familiar with our systems.

   I should also mention, Solr by default includes Lucene's CJK analyzer
   library, and it would be worth reading up on its capabilities.
