The only problem with that is Roller's built-in search engine. I'm not
sure how well it would work in such a setup, since I haven't tried it.
You might have to turn it off. Any Lucene experts around?
It would be nice to document this on the wiki.
This doesn't really address the issue, I guess, but at the mention of
"distributed" and "search," I thought of Solr, another project in the
Apache incubator:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/solr.html
If you're writing code for using distributed page and Hibernate caches,
and subscribe to the belief that anything worth doing is worth
overdoing, you might look into delegating the indexing and searching out
to Solr.
(I say this having zero practical experience with Solr, but the
description makes it sound as if it would fit into a multi-instance
environment well).
