Elastic Search (via) Solr has competition! Like Solr, Elastic Search provides a RESTful JSON HTTP interface to Lucene. The focus here is on distribution, auto-sharding and high availability. It’s even easier to get started with than Solr, partly due to the focus on providing a schema-less document store, but it’s currently missing out on a bunch of useful Solr features (a web interface and faceting are the two that stand out). The high availability features look particularly interesting. UPDATE: I was incorrect, basic faceted queries are already supported.

Hi,
Yes, in terms of search there are many features that are still missing from ElasticSearch. Note that in terms of faceting, it does support query based faceting: http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/js on_api/search/
