Developer/Admin Documentation
The developer/admin documentation is divided into several guides that cover various aspects of installing and configuring EMERSE, as well as specifics about data integration and indexing.
| Throughout this documentation there are scattered references to master and slave with respect to the patient index. While we recognize that the terms are inappropriate, they remain embedded within the open source Apache Solr project on which EMERSE relies. To be consistent with naming conventions across EMERSE (which we control) and Solr (which we do not control) we are keeping these terms in our code/documentation for now. We hope to use neutral names for these concepts once the Solr project renames them. |
