Solr/Lucene capabilities--Newbie Question

[kgrogan0321 <Ka...@dcjs.state.ny.us>]

Hello,
I have been tasked with evaluating a few open source tools for implementing
an Enterprise search in a new project(Solr/Lucene being one of them).  

Can anyone help to answer if Solr/Lucene can: 
1)Handle field/row level security?
2)implement DROOLS rules on a query of multiple records?  If so how does it
work internally and are there any performance hits?
3)Handle multiple data sources?
4)Break up and dispatch queries?


I do aplogize that my question(s) are a little general, as we are only in
the beginning stages of the project.  I appreciate any help or answers
anyone can give :)

Thanks,
Karen

Yes.  This is typically handled with a Filter.

Not out of the box.  You would probably have to implement your own  
SearchComponent/RequestHandler to do so.  I don't know what would be  
involved here, but it sounds interesting.

Yes.

In what way?  Do you mean for distributed search?  If so, then yes.

No worries, all good questions.
