Antibes – Needs !
« Big Data » issue: 2.000 employees, 500.000 shared files, 15 terabytes of data and a growing usage of IT ressources…
Need to find the files
where they are.
Need to respect user
rights. Security and ACL
are mandatory.
Raise awareness of each
others activities
Antibes – Requirements
”Low cost“
Search engine rather than CMS
High performance
If it’s not fast, it’s not used
No training for employees
Open source (encouraged by prime minister)
No License fee
Visibility on the roadmap
Large community of Lucene/Solr contributors/users
Antibes: Demo (video)
Time to see what it looks like

INSTALLATIONOf enterprise search engines
TrainingLucene/Solr and Constellio
ConsultingLucene/Solr and Constellio
Antibes: Proposed solution
Constellio 1.3 because: Open Source (LGPL) Can crawl file shares with ACLs Can be further extended to additional sources:
Nuxeo, Alfresco, SAP, DB, web, CMIS… Provides an extended web admin UI Leverages Apache Lucene/Solr:
reliable, scalable, autocompletion, spellchecker, multilingual faceting…
Constellio 1.3 based on: Java Google Connector Framework Java Wickets Developed by Doculibre

No complete AD/LDAP query mechanism by default
Buggy ACL retrieval mechanism for the google file connector
Antibes: Project execution 2/2
November 2012:
Stability tests
Usability tests
March 2013:
Stability tests: no backup and monitoring scripts by default
Scalability tests: for up to 600.000 files, fine on a VM with 8
GB RAM, Index of 14 GB, dual-core,, 300 ms query time
Usability tests: positive feedback
December 2012:
Official release
April 2013:
Internal release
Antibes: Outcomes and roadmap
Delays in the implementation but:
Users satisfaction is high (for those who need documents!)
« No training » required is true
Open source = No license fees: youuuhouuuu !
ACLs are respected
Roadmap:
Crawl new data sources:
• Intranet
• Business Objects reports
• External sites (twitter, newspapers…)
Analyse logs for usage statistics
Integrate with the city network analysis tool (demo ?)
