Interesting question on StackOverflow asking why search servers like Lucene are not considered in NoSQL conversations.
three years ago a co-worker and I were using Lucene.NET as what seem to fit the description of no-SQL. We did not use it just for user-inputted search queries … What I don’t understand is, why [are solutions like Lucene] not counted in the typical lists of no-SQL solution options?
See the thread on stackoverflow for a few thoughts.
Also, read Justin Cormack’s fantastic blog post on Search, SQL, NoSQL, Persistence. Great read.
