About ten years after creating Solr, Yonik Seeley joined Cloudera to work on integration between Apache Hadoop and Solr.

There's an interesting connection here: Doug Cutting, perhaps best known as the creator of Hadoop, was the Chief Architect at Cloudera. Most people recognize Doug as the creator of Apache Hadoop, but he also created Lucene. In fact, Hadoop originated from a Lucene subproject called Nutch, which aimed to build a scalable web crawler.
