With Ferret you can scale reads horizontally: you can have multiple read 
servers on a single index. You can only have one write server on a 
single index or you'll risk data corruption.

Another strategy is partitioning: having separate indices for buckets of 
data. Each index could run on it's own server or cluster of servers.
