Mark Miller commented on SOLR-3613:
-----------------------------------

Personally, I think if you want to embed Solr, go ahead and use embedded Solr - 
else run it as it should be run - in it's own process with it's own heap.

net/net, there are so many positives to simplifying - and this does not sound 
like a big negative to me?

bq. advice the customers to move it to a dedicated server when things grow big.

If you are going to end up moving Solr to another server anyhow, I see no 
problem with starting with it as a separate process on the same server. That 
seems more consistent and a more straightforward transition to me.

I think the decision to make a search engine a war was more about ease of 
picking up http plumbing at the time more than any desire to behave like a 
typical low resource webapp. At least that's what would make sense to me.

>
> Solr being a web-app, should play nicely in a setting where users deploy it 
> on a shared appServer.
> To this regard Solr's JAVA_OPTS should be properly name spaced, both to avoid 
> name clashes and for clarity when reading your appserver startup script. We 
> currently do that with most: {{solr.solr.home, solr.data.dir, 
> solr.abortOnConfigurationError, solr.directoryFactory, 
> solr.clustering.enabled, solr.velocity.enabled etc}}, but for some opts we 
> fail to do so.
> Before release of 4.0 we should make sure to clean this up.
