Sorry, but you do not provide nearly enough information for people to be able to make sensible suggestions. What is your use case? MongoDB is largely a different beast from Solr. What do you think merits its use, and where does it fit in your scheme of things? In many cases, one could have both MongoDB, and Solr. In other cases, one or the other might better fit the bill. > 2. Does Solr require a specific schema for the JSON document. You can POST a JSON document to Solr, and get JSON output back. Not sure if this meets your needs, but please take a look at: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateJSON http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolJSON Regards, Gora
