FWIW, I index 30M+ entries with ~12 fields each (solr can have dynamic fields), withouth any problem on a normal-sized machine. Notice that solr is not real time though, e.g. you may write something and not be able to read it back until it is committed and the index searcher is re-opened, but this seems like it wouldn't be a big problem for the OP. > > And regarding lucene on top of Cassandra, can people share their feed > back, if any, about such a solution. Pros & cons vs Solr for instance. It seems lucandra still has a few limitations that may be problematic or not (no deletion/update/boosting) but I'd be curious to hear about this too, it seems the basic idea is sound and may be a great technology in the long term.
