That's not quite what I was talking about but that is certainly something that could be done. John Muellerleile (@jrecursive) has actually done work to merge Riak/Solr but IIRC the project, named Mecha, is not in the wild yet. What I'm really talking about is getting the Solr emulation out of Riak Search itself and into a self-contained application that can optionally be deployed with Riak. I'm of the opinion that full-blown Solr compatibility is not something that belongs in the core of Riak. It's too much to try to maintain and keep up with and is not the main focus of Riak. I'd rather see it as an optional thing on the side and allow Riak to focus on it's own search/index story rather than play feature checklist with Solr. -Z
