Hi all,

How about adding hadoop support for distributed indexing. If required I can start working on this. If Hadoop is the fesiable option.

Also what other technique one can think for doing distributed Indexing. Currently I am planning on extending the SolrJ to keep a map of where the document has gone and trying to get a distibuted Indexing.

--Thanks and Regards

That's right - most of them are about distributed searching (hence my notes 
about sharding being up to the app).  Hadoop's contrib/index is about dist 
indexing:

"This contrib package provides a utility to build or update an index
using Map/Reduce.

A distributed "index" is partitioned into "shards". Each shard corresponds
to a Lucene instance."

Subject: Re: Does lucene support distributed indexing?


: There are actually several distributed indexing or searching projects in : Lucene (the top-level ASF Lucene project, not Lucene Java), and it's : time to start thinking about the possibility of bringing them together, : finding commonalities, etc.

I would actually argue that almost all of the examples you listed describe "distributed searching" to query multiple shards.

As far as i know, none of them address the "distributed indexing" aspect: throw some raw data at the system and trust that it it will be indexed by one (or more) shard(s) in a way that "evenly" distributes the indexing "load"
