That understanding is incorrect. Solr is not a data store. Reasoning based on 
that false assumption leads to false statements.

I’ve used Solr for about a dozen years and I’ve worked at two different 
non-relational database companies. Solr does not meet the minimal requirements 
for a reliable data store. For example, there is no transactional backup or 
even dump/load.

If you use Solr as your primary repository, you will lose all your data at some 
point.

On Monday, I need to delete an index with 45 million documents and recreate it 
from the source repository. I screwed up and made an incompatible schema 
change. Part of the index is written one way and the other part another way. 
Solr won’t even open the index now. So all that data is unrecoverable.

If you need a cluster-aware data store with search features, buy it from 
MarkLogic.
