Does SOLR need a database?

Does SOLR need a database?

Almost always, the answer is yes. It needn’t be a database necessarily, but you should retain the original data somewhere outside of Solr in the event you alter how you index the data in Solr. Unlike most databases, which Solr is not, Solr can’t simple re-index itself.

Apache Solr is a subproject of Apache Lucene, which is the indexing technology behind most recently created search and index technology. Solr is a search engine at heart, but it is much more than that. It is a NoSQL database with transactional support.

Why is SQL vertically scalable and NoSQL horizontally?

Most SQL databases are vertically scalable, which means that you can increase the load on a single server by increasing components like RAM, SSD, or CPU. In contrast, NoSQL databases are horizontally scalable, which means that they can handle increased traffic simply by adding more servers to the database.

Is Elasticsearch better than Solr?

Solr has more advantages when it comes to the static data, because of its caches and the ability to use an uninverted reader for faceting and sorting – for example, e-commerce. On the other hand, Elasticsearch is better suited – and much more frequently used – for timeseries data use cases, like log analysis use cases.
