: I think until Solr become completely standalone, it could be major task for
Solr 5.0 is already completley standalone. Running bin/solr (or bin/solr.cmd) as a standalone daemon is the only documented & supported way to run Solr 5. *Internally* Solr is using jetty -- but that is 100% an implementation detail, and is completely subject to change in minor releases. (Future 5.x versions might bypass the servlet container APIs and depending directly on specific jetty features, or might even rip out jetty completley and replace the entire networking stack with something new to better support cross node communication, etc...) -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
