Re: Is Lucene a "document oriented database"?

I think those doc-oriented DBs tend to be distributed, with replication built-in and such, but yes, in some way the schemaless DB with docs and fields (whether they are pumped in as JSON or XML or Java objects) feels the same.  I saw something from Grant about 2 months ago how Lucene is "nosql-ish".

Great, thanks!

I am curious to learn if anyone has used Lucene/Solr as a
document-oriented db - any experiences to share? Lessons learned?
I am considering a similar application using Solr and want to ensure
we have a handle on potential issues.

Thanks,
Shashi

There were nice presentations from The Guardian folks at EuroCon this year
about how they made their content available to the public using Solr (and
they refer to noSQL model [not only SQL]).
