Honestly I'm not sure, I haven't used Solr. I was just comparing it to the relational databases I've used, key-value stores like Cassandra, and other documents stores like Mongo. It definitely doesn't replace relational stores, but IMO blows all of the other NoSQL data stores out of the water. The Lucene indexing behind the scenes just really delivers some impressive functionality.
