Solr
Solr is an open source NoSQL enterprise search platform built on Apache Lucene. Supporting distributed search and index replication, Solr is highly reliable, scalable and fault tolerant. It runs as a standalone full-text search server with a REST-like API and provides features including hit highlighting, faceted search, near real-time indexing, dynamic clustering, database integration, and geospatial search. Currently, Solr powers some of the highest-traffic websites and applications in the world.
History
In 2004, CNET Networks, an American media website, started Solr to support search capability and later donated to Apache Software Foundation as a open-source project in 2006. In 2007, graduated as a top-level project (TLP), Solr grew steadily with more features and supported several popular websites. Finally in 2010, Solr was merged with Lucene as a sub project and changed the version number to 3.1 after Solr 1.4 to match that of Lucene.
