Is it possible to make Solr work on GAE

Hi:

Thanks a million for this great project, so we can use open source Lucene and free GAE.

But I am wondering is it possible to make Solr work on GAE? maybe a new project SolrAppEngine?

Hello,

I really appreciated your interest.
I think that a porting is possible, but at a high cost. I think that the right way to do that is by porting the functionalities of Solr inside appengine using the appengine search api (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/search/).

I'm saying this because LAE simplifies the porting of existing application (using lucene) inside appengine. Solr instead offers distributed services to manage and query an index, it makes no sense to use LAE instead of the built in appengine search api to realize a Solr (appengine enabled) application.

PS. Sorry for the late response but recently I had some things to do that brought me far from LAE.
