I think Hoss has a good point here. Solr has not shipped 1.3 yet and really needs to. A lot of the functionality mentioned would probably break any backward compatibility and/or require large rewrites of code.
For Ocean I guess I should just state more clearly that it's really supposed to be a replacement for SQL databases like what Google has done with GData and not just realtime search using Lucene. There may be some issues with doing this, however they can and should be addressed. This article by Adam Bosworth explains well how a massively scalable search database has many benefits over scaling SQL database systems http://acmqueue.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=337 I see this as the clear future for most companies, even if it takes a long time for even a few companies to implement outside of Google. There are too many cost and feature advantages in using search based databases, rather than using a mix of SQL and then doing batch based updates later. I doubt most companies would try to do it at this point, however one would say the same thing about SQL databases in the 1970s. In any case, SOLR is very cool and it would be great to see some of the analyzers, NumberUtils and other things go back into core Lucene at some point.
