Hello list,

I would like to hear some thoughts about my current project.
We need to "transfer" information between different sites as events  
and news. We used SOLR to transfer content between sites before in  
another project (not the whole content, but enough to build a  
reference or get images from a different site) through a browser view  
we implemented in all sites (all_sites_view) that allows us to  
collect the possible paths you can send to solr to get content from  
each site.

So that part of the problem seems to be solved to me.
Now to the part that is unsolved: We also want to build a centralized  
keyword index for this, since all events and news items share a  
common catalog of keywords and we don't want to update that in each  
site once something changes. (We are talking about over 100 different  
Plone sites in this project and currently around 20 in 2 separate  
ZOPE clusters (2 more are planned...))

My thoughts were that the easiest way would be to extend the monkey  
patches used by collective.indexing and collective.solr to support  
the "uniqueValuesFor" from ZCatalog.

Would that be a reasonable way to do this?

If this works nicely you could do faceted searches across multiple  
plone sites (that are even distributed around several unconnected  
ZOPE instances (well unconnected except through SOLR).

(BTW: load balancing/clustering SOLR anyone?)

Regards,
Sven Deichmann
