Netty has been discussed as a replacement for the Servlet API, as one pathway towards Solr becoming a standalone application. I'm pretty sure that the general thinking within the project is to keep using HTTP (that is one of the protocols that Netty implements) but the hope is that it would be more efficient than a servlet container. There is a lot of evidence that Netty implements network communication much more efficiently than other libraries. If you have the experience to do work like that, user contributions are always welcome. Thanks, Shawn
