An interesting problem, perhaps we'll look at this at one of the
Hackdays we're running soon! Previously we managed to cut down the Solr
config files to fewer lines than the Apache license statement.

components of solr that can be cut to conserve space for more
information?
For basic functionality, the entire contrib directory could probably be
removed. That's more than half of the download right there.
Some of the jars in solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib can likely be
removed. Chances are that you won't need the jars starting with
"hadoop" - those are for HDFS support. That's another 11 MB. If you
don't need either HDFS or SolrCloud, you can remove the zookeeper jar,
and I think you can also remove the curator jars. If you're not
accessing Solr with a JDBC driver, you won't need the calcite jars. If
you're not dealing with oriental characters (and sometimes even if you
ARE), you can probably do without lucene-analyzers-kuromoji.
With careful code analysis, you can probably find other jars that aren't
needed, but there's not a huge amount of space saving to be gained with
most of the others.
Thanks,
Shawn
