I have chosen Apache Lucene with Solr to learn about advanced search indexing for my web applications but there seems to be a gap in configuration between versions Solr 4 and Solr 5.
Most online material and books get you to setup Apache Tomcat to run the Solr service for version 4. Whereas version 5 tells you to use it using its built-in service.
My web applications are built on the LAMP stack and I would like in the future to use Solr in production and I am wondering what version/configuration is best practice?
