Whether you need Solr depends on if you require some features such as highlighting, faceting, more-like-this etc. They will not work with CouchDB-Lucene, nor can you, at this moment, use CoucDB-Lucene behind CouchDB-Lounge although a seperate shard can have a sharded Lucene index, you cannot query them through smartproxyd.
You need to know what you want to do with fulltext-search before choosing and join CouchDB's mailinglist if you haven't already. -----Original message----- From: Patrick Petermair <patrick.peterm...@openforce.com> Sent: Wed 28-04-2010 18:03 To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org; Subject: Re: Using Solr with CouchDB > Setting up CouchDB-Lucene is quite easy, but you don't want that i > guess. Yeah, I was thinking about CouchDB-Lucene too (also found it in the CouchDB wiki). It's not like I HAVE to make it work with Solr. If it turns out that it's not possible or a pain in the ass, I'll probably go for the easy way with CouchDB-Lucene. Patrick
