Thanks Shashi, this is oddly coincidental with another issue being put into Solr (SOLR-2193) to help solve some of the NRT issues, the timing is impeccable.
At a base however Solr uses Lucene, as does ES. I think the main advantage of ES is the auto-sharding etc. I think it uses a gossip protocol to capitalize on this however... Hmm...
