Thanks for this helpful information. Solr is embeddable but does that not just mean that SolrJ only provides the ability to call Solr running on some server? As far as I know embedding Solr is not really embedding it at all, only using it remotely where a internet connection needs to be maintained in order to do so. If Solr were truly embeddable how large of a memory footprint would that add to my app?
For some of my use cases using Solr on a remote server would work fine. For other cases it will not be quick enough, plus I want the user and other tool aspects of the local client to be able to utilize Lucene search for a lot more than only accessing resources on a remote server. Sorry to hear there is no out of the box support for JSON input/output in Lucene but that can be overcome with a bit of local code.
