My experience is mostly Japan-centric nowadays but SOLR is very widely used here and there is demand for people with that background. A lot of work has been done with SOLR to better support the intricacies of dealing with Japanese text which differs substantially from other languages. Most of the search and NLP jobs I've seen recently outside of Google and Amazon expect some SOLR experience.
