I've heard a few people recommending [b] Solr [a] for lightning fast
spatial search, which leads me to question my understanding of best
practice OGC / OSGeo design paradigms.<br>
<br>
In particular:<br>
<br>
1. Have people been rolling out Solr's spatial search into
production instead of WFS (such as GeoServer)? Why was or was not
Solr chosen?<br>
<br>
2. Solr doesn't seem to follow OGC standards (I'd suspect a cut down
version of WFS would be appropriate). Are there discussions with the
OGC about setting up an appropriate standard which Solr could/should
follow?<br>
<br>
<br>
3. If Solr is indeed a good match for certain use cases, then should
we be including it on OSGeo-Live [c]?<br>

[a] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lucene.apache.org/solr/">https://lucene.apache.org/solr/</a> Solr is the popular, blazing
fast open source enterprise search platform. Its major features
include powerful full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search,
near real-time indexing, dynamic clustering, database integration,
rich document (e.g., Word, PDF) handling, and <b>geospatial search</b>.
