Any reasons to prefer Solr over elastic-search?
Solr is a lot more configurable (Search Components, Update Request Processors, configurable Schemaless processing sequence, etc). Solr includes Admin UI console which is free for production, ES has one that's only free for development. Solr has contributors from a lot more different companies, so grows into multiple directions at once. If you want to compare on a technical level, you can see my presentation from the…

#47Still no percolator/reverse search. ElasticSearch still is my go-to search technology.
I've checked http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/referenc... But, couldn't grasp the usecase. Can anyone share some thoughts, where will it be helpful?
