Hello, We can try giving you some directions if you could explain some more details of what you need. First thing, cloud providers are rather different: most allow you to fully control the hosts assigned to you (root access) such as Amazon and Openshift, while others like the google app engine impose some restrictions on what your application can do (for example Java applications on GAE aren't allowed to start threads or open sockets).
If your applications expect a REST interface, you could deploy Solr or other similar engines such as ElasticSearch: these provide helpers to distribute/replicate the index to multiple nodes and how to query them properly. If you need to embed Lucene in your application directly, then you could look at the Infinispan Lucene Directory[1] - pardon for the plug as I maintain it - this allows to use the standard Lucene APIs just changing the way in which you store the index: instead of using a filesystem it's stored in a distributed datagrid[*2] which makes it easier to add/remove more nodes on the fly from your cluster. Regards, Sanne [1] - https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Infinispan+as+a+Directory+for+Lucene [2] - I'm personally focusing on Infinispan, but it was ported to Voldemort too and should be easy to port to any grid. I don't know much about Voldemort but in case of Infinispan it supports several cloud friendly auto-discovery protocols and the capability to write-through to a permanent backup via JClouds, to long term store and backup on cloud persistence services such as Amazon's S3. 2011/7/6 Li Li <fancye...@gmail.com>: > sounds great. > but I'd like to do it myself. > searchblox did provide a cloud hosting service and it seems it > implements cloud computing itself other than using > common services that are provided by google, amazon etc. > > On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 7:02 PM, Joe Scanlon <jscan...@element115.net> wrote: >> Look at searchblox >> >> On Monday, July 4, 2011, Li Li <fancye...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> hi all, >>> I want to provide full text searching for some "small" websites. >>> It seems cloud computing is popular now.
