>>That's a bit of an apples and oranges comparison.  Ian already pointed out the most obvious/basic/biggest difference.  They are meant to solve different problems.  Moreover, if you play with Nutch, you will see that's a rather complex and ambitious piece of software.  Solr is a lot smaller (code-wise) and simpler.  Again, it's hard to compare them, because they are really two pretty different things, even though they both do text indexing and searching.
