Because it's a decent default? It was also the only choice when Solr was first created. I don't see a compelling reason to change that. Solr fits about the same place a database does in many applications... it's certainly not meant for users to query directly. There's normally a web application that handles interaction with the user and creates/submits queries to Solr. -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
