I think you’d have to ask the GDS team that one! There seem to be lots of people moving from Solr to ES these days, and I think the main reason is ease-of-use regarding scalability and schemas. Of course ES still lags Solr in some functional areas and Solr’s community is considerably larger. The encouraging thing for end users (and for those of us building search applications for them) is that the ‘arms race’ between ES and Solr means new functionality is appearing often – for example Solr 4.5, out next week, will have a ‘schemaless’ option I believe.

Just came across this, with all the debates on solr vs ES just wondering what drove the decision to move from one to the other..?
