I have never used Solr and I don't know what advantages does it offer over "pure" lucene. But couchdb-lucene is not "pure" lucene. It's a tool written specifically for couchdb. You write search views that are almost the same like couchdb views. If you use couchdbkit (don't know for others), it supports couchdb-lucene so it doesn't matter if you call couchdb view or lucene view from your code (the API is the same). I don't know java and couchdb-lucene is perfectly usable as it is accessed via javascript views. Of course, if you are a java expert, you may be comfortable with implementing your own solution, though I don't believe it will be easier than couchdb-lucene.
