[consulting] Question about using Drupal for large searchable database

[Alex Pavlovic]

He didn't explain yet what the search fields are. You don't need overhead of Solr for searching on a integer column for example. Drupal / views or a query can 
handle this fine with a column index.

Solr is intended for full text searches. I am still amazed people are recommending this before actually asking him to post what the client is going to be 
searching on.
