Elasticsearch is still using Lucene as core search engine though, so all that was replaced is the custom job control and wrapping around Lucene (SOLR?) by the one that Elasticsearch provides I guess.

- elric 6y agoBoth Solr and ElasticSearch use Lucene as their search engine. Solr and ElasticSearch are basically server components wrapped around the Lucene library. With a fair bit of special sauce and extra features. Including, well, elasticity.

- kristianp 6y agoCan you tell us more? Sounds like you have an interesting story to tell.
- amaccuish 6y agoI gave up on lucene and solr on my dovecot server because of memory usage and use https://github.com/grosjo/fts-xapian https://github.com/grosjo/fts-xapian instead
