Oh, sorry, I got the direction backwards in my initial reply.

Yes, of course you can use an index from Solr with Lucene directly. It's just a Lucene index. Just make sure you use the same version of Lucene (pull the JARs from solr.war, I'd say). For example, you can open a "Solr index" with Luke.

If you're using a Lucene app against a live Solr index, be careful with locking (in short, the default lock setting in solrconfig.xml isn't set for sharing the index between two processes).

I was thinking of the reverse case: from solr to lucene. lucene doesn't use a schema.xml

This looks like an interesting avenue for a smooth transition from lucene to solr.

thanks for more hints you find around.
(e.g. maybe it is not too hard to pre-generate a schema.xml from an actual index for the field-types?)

Yes... gotta jive with schema.xml though.

If i build an index with solr, is it possible to use the index folder with lucene?
