Trends: Interest in Lucene continues to accelerate
Interesting take on Lucene adoption: job ads for Lucene (and Solr) are on the rise. I can personally attest to this as well, as the the volume from recruiters hitting me up has definitely picked up in recent months.
Although it really isn’t a surprise to those of us who have been using Lucene for a while, this storm has been brewing for a long time; heck, a fair number of us committers and contributors even got together and formed a company, named Lucid Imagination, around the Lucene ecosystem to offer support, training, value add, professional services, etc.
Finally, not sure why it is “preposterous” to think of Lucene taking on those others. I’d venture to say Lucene powers search in more places than a lot of commercial vendors. In fact, almost ironically, there are a fair number of commercial vendors that use Lucene to power their systems.
