There's a good percent of the Solr community that is looking to add everything you are (from a functional point of view). Some of the other little things that we haven't considered (like a remote Java API) sound cool... no reason not to add that also. We're also planning on adding alternatives to some of the things you don't currently like about Solr (HTTP, XML config, etc).
Apache has always emphasized "community over code"... and it's a large part of what open source is about here. It's not always easier and faster to work in an open community, making compromises and trying to reach general consensus, but it tends to be good for projects in the long term. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
