I have embedded solr skipping HTTP transport altogether. It was
remarkably easy to link directly to request handlers skipping the
dispatch filter and using the DocList and associated data in the
SolrQueryResponse directly.
Assuming the existing TCP/IP interface is sending strings around,
filling up the appropriate queries should be no problem.
The only issue i have had is trying to to deal with Objects for as
much as possible and get the FieldType to marshal the fields into and
out of lucene. (SOLR-193) One goal with SOLR-20 is to get an
interface that works the same with or without HTTP -- I know thats not
what it was intended for, but solr makes lucene so much more
manageable even without a server!

I have a client need to embed Solr behind an already built custom TCP/

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,
