I've been reading Stephen Green's posts, as you can tell by looking at the comments and I, too, wondered if one could put Solr on top of it. After this initial thought I quickly "decided" it would probably be very messy with various Solr configuration settings being very Lucene-specific. I didn't really spend a lot of time thinking about it, though.
