That will just be a matter of taste. If you are working in java, then solrj is likely a good option. How can I (j)unit-test Solr? (e.g. create+delete index via Java call) If you want to mess with creating/removing indexes at runtime, see: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin Is Lucene faster than Solr? ... do you have experiences, preferable with the same index? solr is built ontop of lucene, so in that regard it is the same speed. Depending on your app, the abstractions that solr makes may make it less efficient then working directly in lucene. Unless you have very specialized needs, I doubt this will make a big difference.
Re: Moving from Lucene to Solr?
Hi Peter, You need to use Lucene, - To have more control - You cannot depend on any Web server - To use termvector, termdocs etc - You could easily extend to have your own Analyzer You need to use Solr, - To index and search docs easily by writting few code - Solr is a standalone App and it takes care most of the stuff like optimizing,warmup the reader etc.. - Solr could be extended to multiple nodes - To use facet If you are developing your client in Java and want to use Solr then i would advise to use SolrJ as it is easy and you don't need to care about HTTP stuff. I use Solr using SolrJ in my project www.findbestopensource.com Regards Aditya www.findbestopensource.com On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 4:08 PM, Peter Karich peat...@yahoo.de wrote: Hi all, while asking a question on stackoverflow [1] some other questions appear: Is SolrJ a recommended way to access Solr or should I prefer the HTTP interface?

The background is an application which uses Lucene at the moment but I hardly need the facetting feature of Solr and I don't want to implement it in Lucene for myself. Regards, Peter.
