Partitioning indices by term is an approach whose adoption (as far as
I am away) is limited to academic projects. Further, it is much more
bandwdith intensive than the document partition approach (you have to
do term-posting list intersections across machines, instead of
locally). With doc partitioning, you get the top X docs from each
server, using almost no bandwidth.
