In fact the main thing is: We don't want to go away just from Jetty, the idea is to remove the whole "web application" (including the WAR file, which is already gone in trunk). So we won't use any servlet api stuff, web.xml,... anymore. The idea is to go more in the direction of ElasticSearch that uses Netty as library for the HTTP access. The main reason is: Solr is not a web application that is sitting in the infrastructure of some application server we have no control of, it is more a separate Java application, running in its own VM and providing a HTTP connector to the outside. Like a postgres sql server or mysql. You would also never run such servers inside a application server. Possibly, there could also be a binary only, non-http connector (like ElasticSearch port 9300). The latter is not easy to implement if the whole thing is running as a child of a webapp container. Also the embedded Zookeeper is also something you should not do inside a webapp container. With a separate application, Solr would have full control on setting up the zookeeper and connectors to the outside. In fact we could also provide auto-discovery by sending broadcasts. Theoretically, instead of using Netty, we could still use "embedded Jetty" to provide the HTTP connector, but Solr would *not* be a web application nor we would implement one hidden inside. It would only run an embedded Jetty as one of the connectors to the outside. Starting Solr would go via a main() method somewhere (like ES's Bootstrap class) and some shell scripts that setup good defaults for garbage collectors and memory settings. But you are right, there is no issue at the moment, because it is not yet decided how the infrastructure should look like.
