Rails, via JRuby, is used in LucidWorks Enterprise for both the admin =
and search interfaces. (and also powers the Alerts REST API).

LucidWorks Enterprise is a standalone install, and intentionally =
controls the full environment (using Jetty).  While it *is* Solr, it is =
also a lot more around it and a product we are supporting thoroughly.   =
It's better for us, and our customers, to have as controlled an =
environment as possible.

As a search engine user, especially with LucidWorks Enterprise, the idea =
is to speak an API to it (a REST control API, as well as standard Solr =
HTTP interface)... making dropping in newer versions relatively =
straightforward. =20

[an aside, there are plans to release a LucidWorks for Solr 3.1/.x =
certified distribution too - I can't speak to the timeline of such a =
release though]
