There are several advantages to use Solr (out-of-the-box facetting search, grouping, replication, http administration vs. luke, ...).

Even if I embed a search-functionality in my Java application I could use SolrJ to avoid the HTTP trade-off when using Solr.

So, when would you recommend to use "pure-Lucene"? Does it have a better performance or requires less RAM? Is it better unit-testable?

PS: I am aware of this question.
