Lily anyone?

July 2, 2012

Lily ( http://www.lilyproject.org/lily/index.html) claims to be smart data at scale.

Per their website,

Lily unifies Apache HBase, Hadoop and Solr into a comprehensively integrated, interactive data platform with easy-to-use access APIs, a high-level data model and schema language, flexible, real-time indexing and the expressive search power of Apache Solr.

Anyone with experience using Lily? What is your experience? Did it live to your expectations?
