You need two, maybe three things that Solr doesn't do (or doesn't do well):
* field updating * storing content * real time search and/or simple transactions I would seriously look at Mark Logic for that. It does all of those, plus full-text search, gracefully, plus it scales. There is also a version for Amazon EC2. www.marklogic.com Note: I work at Mark Logic, but I chose Solr for Netflix when I worked there. wunder On Mar 3, 2010, at 11:08 AM, caman wrote: > > Hello All, > > Just struggling with a thought where SOLR or a database would be good option > for me.Here are my requirements. > We index about 600+ news/blogs into out system.
