About the Authors
Born to code, David Smiley is a software engineer who's passionate about search,
Lucene, spatial, and open source. He has a great deal of expertise with Lucene and
Solr, which started in 2008 at MITRE. In 2009, as the lead author, along with the
coauthor Eric Pugh, he wrote Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search Server, the rst book on Solr,
published by Packt Publishing. It was updated in 2011, Apache Solr 3 Enterprise Search
Server, Packt Publishing, and again for this third edition.
After the rst book, he developed 1- and 2-day Solr training courses, delivered half a
dozen times within MITRE, and he has also delivered training on LucidWorks once.
Most of his excitement and energy relating to Lucene is centered on Lucene's spatial
module to include Spatial4j, which he is largely responsible for. He has presented
his progress on this at Lucene Revolution and other conferences several times. He
currently holds the status of committer & Project Management Committee (PMC)
member with the Lucene/Solr open source project. Over the years, David has staked
his career on search, working exclusively on such projects, formerly for MITRE
and now as an independent consultant for various clients. You can reach him at

Writing a book is the biggest project I've ever worked on, where
I've put time outside of employed working hours; it requires an
inordinate amount of time. I have a great deal of respect for the
other authors who undertake such projects.
I'm deeply appreciative of my wife, Sylvie, for enduring this time
commitment and for taking care of our young daughters, Camille
and Adeline. I also thank my coauthors, Eric, Kranti, and Matt, for
their share of this herculean effort—it is too much for anyone of us.
And nally, I am most appreciative of the compliments I've received
from readers about the previous editions. It helps make the effort
worthwhile.
