I currently have Nutch 0.8 set up with two HDFS machines that store and process searches and another machine that is both the HDFS "index" server and the machine running Tomcat to run searches against. Is it possible to separate the "search" machine from the "index" machine? I want to put the "index" machine on a highly available HA cluster using the Linux Heartbeat HA system since it always needs to be around. I then want to create a set of "search" machines that a load balancer will feed searches to and these machines will in turn send requests to the HDFS machines. Does this make sense?
