It is a blurry line between the need to use a DBMS and lucene. For now Lucene works fine for my search needs and I use Terracotta to persist application state. So no need for a DBMS at all currently - although under the hood Terracotta uses BDB JE.
Does Solr's range impementation use the large Boolean SHOULD queries?
