For all use cases where it might make sense to use multiple indexes, the
common (as in community and commiters) wisdom is that one index is enough
I think that's the case mainly because it reflected the capabilities
of solr at the time... so if someone asks how they create more than
one index, the natural reaction has been to ask "do you really need
to?" in the spirit of helping them quickly solve their problem with
what was available.
Of course, now there is your very ambitious SOLR-215, which I
personally haven't had the time to look at, but I commend your great
writeup on it - it really helps to have that type of detailed overview
when attempting to evaluate such a large patch.
