solrj vs HTTP interface? That will just be a matter of taste. If you are working in java, then solrj is likely a good option. > > How can I (j)unit-test Solr?

Depending on your app, the abstractions that solr makes may make it less efficient then working directly in lucene. Unless you have very specialized needs, I doubt this will make a big difference.
