embedding solr

[Erik Hatcher]

I have a client need to embed Solr behind an already built custom TCP/ 
IP interface (currently for Lucene, but want to swap in Solr to  
benefit from its additional goodness of course).   Have folks already  
done this?   Experiences?   Or perhaps there are some thoughts on why  
this may or may not be a good idea and any technical hurdles that  
might be encountered.

My hunch is this should be possible, and fairly cleanly so.  But I  
hesitate to exaggerate the ease of such a thing without asking first.

Many thanks,
        Erik
