What is Lily?

Lily is the first cloud-scalable NoSQL-based content store and search repository, built on top of Apache HBase and SOLR. It is made available under the Apache license by Outerthought.  We've got a write-up on the rationale behind Lily, and its ties to our companion product Daisy, on our corporate website.

Lily documentation

Our technology choices are explained here.

Project documentation can be found here.

You can also take a look at the following HBase add-ons:

  • HBase indexes: a library for managing secondary indexes in HBase
  • HBase RowLog: a facility to build WALs and queues backed by HBase

Who's behind this?

Outerthought is an experienced open source content application provider. Lily builds further upon 6 years of Daisy experience. We're based in Zwijnaarde near Ghent, Belgium. We're currently on the lookout for partnerships based upon Lily and looking for vertical domain experts in large-scale document/content management solutions.
