What are the current java search options like Hibernate Search or Compass?

Question

With Compass going the way of the dodo (or at least no longer being actively developed), I wonder what other technologies there are that fill a similar role. I'm aware of Hibernate Search, but nothing else really. It seems the direction things are going is towards full indexing agnostic of entities and relationships. Are there other technologies that are worth looking into? Are there benefits to using something more agnostic like Solr?

Answer 1

Solr is awesome. I don't know your exact use case, but solr will probably handle it.
