Also, the Solr 1.4 white paper just recently released talks about the the Streaming Updates Solr Server which according to the white paper can index documents at an incredibly lightening speed of up to 25K documents per second. The white paper can be downloaded here http://www.lucidimagination.com/whitepaper/whats-new-in-solr-1-4 Info about Streaming Update Solr Server is available here http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/impl/StreamingUpdateSolrServer.html If you are still interested in the Embedded version to avoid the HTTP version you can check out the following links http://wiki.apache.org/solr/EmbeddedSolr http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/embedded/EmbeddedSolrServer.html I hope this helps. -- "Good Enough" is not good enough. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. Quality First. Measure Twice. Cut Once.
