SOLR to replace native Lucene

Use SOLR indexes instead of the current Lucene implementation.

Benefits:

• Scalability
• Native Spatial search support instead of using GeoTools
• Possibly the OR queries of alphanumeric & spatial search criteria can be resolved (required for CSW compliancy)

Challenges:

• Multilingual indexing and search
• Spatial operators support. Verify if all spatial operators provided by GeoTools are also available in SOLR.

• Under development
• Spatial extension
