Building on Erick's reply: I doubt that the embedded server is going away, and I do not recall seeing *anything* marking the entire class deprecated. The class still receives attention from devs -- this feature was released with 5.1.0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7307 That said, we have discouraged users from deploying it in production for quite some time, even though it continues to exist and receive developer attention. Some of the reasons that I think users should avoid the embedded server: It doesn't support SolrCloud, you cannot make it fault-tolerant (redundant), and troubleshooting is harder because you cannot connect to it from outside of the source code where it is embedded. Deploying Solr as a network service offers much more capability than you can get when you embed it in your application. Chances are that you can easily replace EmbeddedSolrServer with one of the SolrClient classes and use a separate Solr deployment from your application. Thanks, Shawn
