Subject: Solr or Elasticsearch

Hi everyone,

There are some good write ups on the internet comparing the two and the one
thing that keeps coming up about Elasticsearch being superior to Solr is
it's analytic capability. However, I cannot find what those analytic
capabilities are and why they cannot be done using Solr. Can someone help
me with this question?

Personally, I'm a Solr user and the thing that concerns me about
Elasticsearch is the fact that it is owned by a company that can any day
decide to stop making Elasticsearch avaialble under Apache license and even
completely close free access to it.

So, this is a 2 part question:

1) What are the analytic capability of Elasticsearch that cannot be done
using Solr? I want to see a complete list if possible.
2) Should an Elasticsearch user be worried that Elasticsearch may close it's
open-source policy at anytime or that outsiders have no say about it's road
map?

Thanks,

Steve
