Apache Blur (Incubating) Home

What is Apache Blur?

In today’s digital world, organizations are amassing petabytes of data, but struggling to index and search it using traditional database approaches – RDBMSs simply cannot scale to this level.

Apache Blur, addresses this problem. Blur is a search engine capable of querying massive amounts of structured data at incredible speeds.

Blur combines the speed of document-oriented databases with the ability to build rich data models to deliver lightening-fast answers to complex queries.


Apache Blur is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
