Mark,
My understanding of Lucene is limited, but the issues
seem similar to web server farms in that it comes down to
linear scalability by adding more boxes.
This means separate machines with their own indexes.
Shared filesystems such as NFS work well in smaller environments
but experience pro
So this question has two parts:
1. How does Lucene scale, exactly? Do we distribute the index to multiple
servers somehow? Or is it one index, sitting on some sort of a shared
filesystem, shared by all Lucene servers? If it's the latter, the bottleneck
will be I/O ... anyway, elaborate on scalabi
