Agreed. Apparently the Solr guys are working on this now. Certainly not trivial to do right. You might want to check out that work.

I want to start a project for this functionality myself soon - but just with Lucene. Personally, I think the only way to go is to use Jini, but I am waiting for the first release of Apache River before getting started (*very* soon I hope). That gets you through the 8 fallacies of distributed computing with almost no work right off the bat. Self discovery, leasing, redundancy, etc with minimal effort. Hopefully I will be able to recruit some help with this. From what I can tell, there is a lot of roll your own for this type of thing out there...it would be nice to focus some work on a system that can be used by all.
