Hello there! I have just started with lucene. Bought the Lucene in action book [right now I'm at chap 4, plus the 10th chapter, great explanation by Terence from jGuru, really nice stuff], also I'm reading most that I can at the wiki :) Still a bit lost with some stuff, mostly with clusters :) Our app is running in a cluster environment, now we are going to add search support for it, and lucene was the choice for it. Since I have many SLSB spread across the cluster, I would like to know some blueprints to use lucene in these situation.
Our first idea, was to store the IndexWriter as an MBean inside Jboss and use it as an HA-Singleton, which would guarantee its uniqueness inside the cluster. I just would like to get some feedback from you guys on it :) Best regards -- "In a world without fences and walls, who needs Gates and Windows?"
