Hi All,
I am aware that Solr internally uses Lucene for search and
indexing. But
it would be helpful if anybody explains about Solr features that is
not
provided by Lucene.
Solr is a server, Lucene is an API
Faceting
Distributed search
Replication
Easy configuration
You don't want to program much (or do Java)
Index warming

Generally speaking, Solr is what you end up building when you build a
Lucene search application, give or take a few features here and
there. I've seen a lot of Lucene apps and I'm always amazed how many
look pretty much like Solr in terms of infrastructure.
I'd use Lucene when you want to have control over every last bit of
how things work or you need something that isn't in Solr (like Span
Queries, but even that is doable in Solr w/ a little work)
Thanks,
Balaji.
