I'd be willing to guess that the vast majority of users start off with
the example app and customize from there to meet their needs.
Thanks for your time!

Has anyone really complained about the size of Solr? One of the
things I like about Solr is how simple it is to get things up and
running, and how accesible the example directory makes everything.
When I first played with DIH and Cell, everything was there. I
didn't have to chase down .jar's from multiple places. Maybe if it
was as simple as "ant build-example-cell" and "ant build-example-
dih" then there might not be a barrier to entry for new users.
I'd be curious to hear what percentage of folks deploy solr based on
the example app, and how many just start out with the most stripped
down solr.war and build everything up from there?

Should be easy enough to conjure up the Ant magic.

Thanks for bringing this up Patrick... clearly it would be nice to
avoid (or mandate) 100MB downloads!

Just using the apache-solr example directory, it seems to have
gotten a bit
big
e.g.
$ du -sh *
13M apache-solr-1.3.0
92M apache-solr-1.4.0
The biggest space user being example-DIH
apache-solr-1.4.0/example
$ du -sh *
4.0K README.txt
5.5M clustering
80K etc
*32M example-DIH*
42K exampleAnalysis
168K exampledocs
13M lib
52K logs
118K multicore
*31M solr*
20K start.jar
12M webapps
12K work
solr/lib is now 30mb
apache-solr-1.4.0/example/solr/lib
$ ls -lhS
total 30M
-rwx------ 1 pjaol None 14M Jun 10 17:08 ooxml-schemas-1.0.jar
-rwx------ 1 pjaol None 4.3M Jun 10 17:08 icu4j-3.8.jar
-rwx------ 1 pjaol None 3.2M Jun 10 17:08 pdfbox-0.7.3.jar

-rwx------ 1 pjaol None 1.1M Jun 10 17:08 bcprov-jdk14-132.jar
as opposed to 0 for 1.3.0
This pushes solr to over a 100mb download for features that I'm
sure can be
packaged up separately as they look seldom used.
It would make sense if there's going to be a batteries included
version to
also have a solr-lite version.
