Relational databases versus information retrieval systems: A case study

In this paper we present our evaluations of using an Information Retrieval library in a commercial employment website with over 300,000 searches a day. Comparison of existing relational database system and the proposed system has been evaluated over 2 million queries. It's shown that using an information retrieval library provides 20 times faster results compared to current implementation. KEYWORDS Information retrieval, relational databases, solr, unstructured data.
