Yes NRT is definitely on the roadmap. Solr already converted to using per-segment searching and field-cache use (for sorting or function queries), so although it not "NRT", 1.4 is an improvement over 1.3 in some areas of NRT. > Further without the NRT features present what's the closest I can expect to > real time for the typical use case (obviously this will vary but the average > deploy).

Depends a lot on the nature of the requests and the size of the index, but one minute is often doable. On a large index that facets on many fields per request, one minute is probably still out of reach. -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
