Some points: - Schemaless is often just to make it easier to get started. - If one assumes a lack of knowledge of field names, that's an issue for non-schemaless too. - Full-text search is only one use-case that people use Solr for... there's lots of sorting/faceting/analytics use cases. - Bad performance by default is.... bad. People tend to do benchmarks and make sweeping conclusions based on those. -Yonik
