Solr Container [closed]

Answer 1

Jetty is bundled with Solr due to it's size:

The Solr example app has Jetty in it just because at the time we set it up, Jetty was the simplest/smallest servlet container we found that could be run easily in a cross platform way (ie: "java -jar start.jar"). That does not imply that Solr runs better under Jetty, or that Jetty is only good enough for demos -- it's just that Jetty made our demo setup easier.

Users should decide for themselves which Servlet Container they consider the easiest/best for their use cases based on their needs/experience. For high traffic scenarios, investing time for tuning the servlet container can often make a big difference.

I have been running Solr with Jetty for few small sites for months and had no problems.

My vote goes for Jetty.

Answer 2

It runs in a Java servlet container such as Tomcat.

It shouldn't matter since they are both servlet containers. Use whatever you feel most comfortable with.
