In terms of adding or fixing documentation, the "Installing Solr" page (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Installing+Solr) includes a yellow box that says:
"Solr ships with a working Jetty server, with optimized settings for Solr, inside the example directory. It is recommended that you use the provided Jetty server for optimal performance. If you absolutely must use a different servlet container then continue to the next section on how to install Solr." So, it's stated, but maybe not in a way that makes it clear to most users. And maybe it needs to be repeated in another section. Suggestions? I did find this page, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Running+Solr+on+Jetty, which pretty much contradicts the previous text. I'll fix that now. Other recommendations for where doc could be more clear are welcome. On Thu, Oct 24, 2013 at 7:14 PM, Tim Vaillancourt <t...@elementspace.com> wrote: > Hmm, thats an interesting move.
