Search performance is not good with DFS-based indexes & segments. This is not recommended.

Yeah, I figured - ignoring network overhead it seems that it would prevent the OS from caching disk pages, no?

Distributed search is not meant for a single merged index, but rather for searching multiple indexes. With distributed search, each node will typically have (a local copy of) a few segments and either a merged index for just those segments, or separate indexes for each segment.

What is the best way to maintain an operational fetch/index and search cluster? It seems that it would help to have a tool that was able to partition existing segments and indexes and export those to the local filesystems of the slave nodes.

Should I coordinate my fetches and indexing so that the resultant segments/indexes are optimal for each of my slave nodes? How do others handle dissimilar search slave nodes?
