Side-by-Side Facts

Metric punitrathore/acts_as_solr β†— elorest/acts_as_better_tree β†—
DescriptionThis plugin adds full text search capabilities and many other nifty features from Apacheβ€˜s Solr to any Rails model. I'm currently rearranging the test suite to include a real unit test suite, and adding a few features I need myself.An alternative to nested_sets and acts_as_tree. Designed to be a drop in replacement for acts_as_tree. Replaces betternestedset without the slow inserts when dealing with a large dataset. Used by upillar.com on a dataset of over 900,000 categories with no slow downs. In tests it shows a 285% speed increase on inserts with a dataset of 100k categories. As datasets become larger its insert speed stays about the same when nested_sets become slower. In all of my tests read speeds have been comparable with nested sets on everything but all_children which takes is inperceptibly slower on a dataset of 100k than betternestedset.
