just my two cents.

Program size is expressed in estimated thousands of source lines of code” – so a) it’s a little surprising Elasticsearch has more lines of code than Solr and b) bigger certainly isn’t better when it comes to software as anyone who has dealt with an old, bloated codebase will tell you.

My point was that Ohloh’s statistics, although interesting, probably aren’t that useful in determining which is the “better” open source project in this instance. However certain people have been linking to these pages and implying they are, which is rather silly.
