Hi, I have been using an embedded instance of solr in my desktop application for a long time and it works fine. At the time when I made that decision (vs. firing up a solr web application within my swing application) I got the impression embedded use is somewhat unsupported and I should expect problems.
My first question is, is this still the case now (4 years later), that embedded solr is discouraged? The one limitation I am running into is that I cannot use the solr admin UI for debugging purposes (mainly for running queries). Is there any other way to do this other than no longer using embedded solr and programmatically firing up a web application (e.g. using jetty)? Should I do the latter anyway? Any insights/advice greatly appreciated. Best regards, Robert
