Examples

Connecting:

solr = Solr('http://localhost:8983/solr/core0')

Loading data:

solr.update( { 'id' : 1, 'name' : 'Tom' },
             { 'id' : 2, 'name' : 'Ted' },
             ... 
             { 'id' : 9, 'name' : 'Ned' } ).commit()

results = solr.select( ( 'q', '*:*' ),
                       ( 'facet', 'true' ),
                       ( 'facet.field', 'name' ),
