But I can query Cassandra directly for the documents if I wanted/needed to?
And, when I need to re-index, I could read from Cassandra, index into Solr, which will write back to Cassandra overwriting the existing document(s)? Basically the steps would be, index documents into Solr which would write to Cassandra. If I need to update a document, I can query it from Solr OR query it from Cassandra, make my modification and re-index it back to Solr which will update Cassandra. If I need to drop my Solr index and completely recreate it I could read all documents from Cassandra and index them into the clean Solr instance, which will update (with no change) the documents in Cassandra. If I update a document directly in Cassandra without going thru Solr indexing, the change would show up on a Solr query of that document, but the search indexes would not reflect any change. Is all that correct? Also, is index and query performance on par with a Sharded pure Solr implementation?
