It's not really that I don't like it, I just don't need it. I think that it actually caused me problems when I first started using Solr (1.4.0), but that's been long enough ago that I no longer remember.
I use the live/build core method, so I do not need to be able to search the documents as they are being added. A commit at the end is good enough. It already creates multiple Lucene segments when ramBufferSizeMB fills up.
I used to use the dataimporter for everything, with a Perl-based build system using cron and LWP. Now I have a multi-threaded SolrJ application that only use the importer for full rebuilds, which are very rare. Because I could not do replication between 1.4.1 and 3.x, I had to abandon replication in order to upgrade Solr. The new build program updates both of my index chains in parallel.
Thanks, Shawn
