Should Solr be used as read-only database?

Should Solr be used as read-only database?

I am going to build a website. It's kind of a magazine that allows users
all over the globe to access. The data might grow extremely large. I am
using mySQL database as core database to perform read/write operations
such as add new users, add new article, and so on. Since the data in the
core database might be extremely large, I'm thinking using Apache Solr as
a read-only database (I'm using Solr as a search engine anyway) to read
data each time a user view an article, user profile, and so on.
Is that a good approach in pratice? what are pros and cons?
