just intuition - haven't tried it, so i'd love to be proved wrong. Instrumenting Objects and magically passing them around seems like it would be slower then a tuned approach used in SOLR-303.

It looks like they have a lucene example:
http://www.terracotta.org/confluence/display/integrations/Lucene

Also, i don't understand how terracotta could get lucene past the Integer.MAX_VALUE limit because it does not change the API, it works within it.

I often wanted to try Terracotta + Lucene, but... time.

Thanks,

This is noted in: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-465

Out of cueriosity, any sense of performance with a terracotta index? It seems like it would have to be *substantially* slower. Also, if it is a RAM directly, does it persist?

If your looking to support billions of docs, perhaps consider:
