I need to organize a cluster for my stateless application based on Lucene 5.2.1. Right now I'm looking for a solution in order to share Lucene index via NFS or rsync between different Lucene nodes.
Is it a good idea to use NFS for this purpose and if so will it be possible to read/write from different nodes to the same shared index ? Also I read that rsync tool can be used for this purpose(in order to synchronize index files across all nodes) but I can't find any success story for using rsync + Lucene. Right now I have a lot of question, one of them - is it safe to use rsync at anytime especially when IndexWriter is in progress(not closed) and actively indexes documents.
