We are knee-deep in a Solr project to provide a web services layer between our Oracle DB's and a web front end to be named later to supplement our numerous Business Intelligence dashboards. Someone from a peer group questioned why we selected Solr rather than Compass to start development. The real reason is that we had not heard of Compass until that comment. Now I need to come up with a better answer.
Does anyone out there have experience in both approaches who might be able to give a quick compare and contrast? Thanks in advance, Ken
