Looks great.. Is Solr actually used in this book? If so, maybe a nod to how it's used would make this more compelling?

Hi Eric, thanks for your comment!
Yes, it is. I can add the following to the description:
The book has a chapter dedicated to Apache Solr, exploring the ways you can interact with Large Language Models related features, specifically:

  • dense vector search, quantisation and nested vectors
  • text vectorisation using LLM fine tuned for sentence similarity
  • Intro to Future features such as Retrieval augmented generation, Semantic highlighting and LLM query parser

What do you think?

I added the publication year next to each book title, since it helps give some context and makes it easier to tell how up-to-date a book might be
