I can get the standard Solr example to run within Jetty and I can use it through the velocity templates. I'm now thinking of integrating Solr with a couple of existing websites. In this regard, I have the following questions:
1. For a medium sized website (about 100+ concurrent users), what is the most popular way of integrating Solr? For e.g. do you just run Solr on the same WebServer/Application Server? 2. If you run Solr on a separate Server, how do you communicate with it from the Webserver? I was thinking of using SolrJ for this. However, I think that each time there is a Solr request, the server would have to open a connection to the separate server running Solr. I would be using the Solr Suggester, so for every keypress into my search box, there would be a separate connection to the Solr server. Is this OK? 3. If I consider using a separate Solr Server, is there a big difference between using Jetty vs Tomcat? I would prefer to use the embedded Jetty already packaged into Solr. On the other hand, would Tomcat be better able to handle more concurrent connections? I'm looking for a big difference :-) ( because I'm lazy and would prefer to use the embedded Jetty.) Thank you in advance for your help O.
