Nope. Lucene is a pure search engine, with no hooks to databases, or
document parsers, etc. Lots of folks have built these kinds of
things on top of Lucene, but the Lucene core is purely the text engine.
How would you envision communicating with Solr with a database in the
picture? How would the entire database be initially indexed? How
would changes to the database trigger Solr updates? I'm not quite
clear on what it would mean for Solr to work with a database directly
so I'm curious.
