Solr is a Java HTTP search server on top of Lucene that adds caching and replication and serves XML, JSON or a Ruby response writer; it indexes via HTTP posts or a built‑in CSV indexer, supports master/slave replication for scaling, and uses commit semantics (delta appends and deletes) so reindexing is sometimes required. A Ruby library maps objects to Solr documents and integrates with ActiveRecord (AccessSolr), powers projects like CNET, Internet Archive, Netflix and a Blacklight front end over 3.8 million records, and the tooling is proven and production‑ready.
