Hello, Has anybody compared feature set of SOLR 4 with Elastic Search? I saw some earlier comparisons and they talked about sharding and distributed service, etc. Seems to me, most of those are addressed in version 4.
The only big issue I see is a better support from ES for nested items and/or parent linking, which I guess on lucene level is done with some sort of dynamic-style fields? Not sure what's SOLR's answer for that (JOIN seems to be a little different). I don't need that information for myself (I like SOLR well enough), but I was asked to compare and am trying to actually understand the difference. And, for our use-case, I think we can consider JSON vs. QueryString and dynamic schema changes to be less important. I am looking at non-reproducible difference between those two solutions (given that they are both built on Lucene (4?) ). Regards, Alex.
