: Is there a recommended servlet container for Solr? http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FAQ#Solr_Comes_with_Jetty.2C_is_Jetty_the_recommended_Servlet_Container_to_use_when_running_Solr.3F
Solr Comes with Jetty, is Jetty the recommended Servlet Container to use when running Solr? The Solr example app has Jetty in it just because at the time we set it up, Jetty was the simplest/smallest servlet container we found that could be run easily in a cross platform way (ie: "java -jar start.jar"). That does not imply that Solr runs better under Jetty, or that Jetty is only good enough for demos -- it's just that Jetty made our demo setup easier. Users should decide for themselves which Servlet Container they consider the easiest/best for their use cases based on their needs/experience. For high traffic scenarios, investing time for tuning the servlet container can often make a big difference. -Hoss
