Thanks Otis, Is it possible to get my hands on the ability in lucene utilizing patches before it is released to the public? (sorry to ask) - How close is it in the source code if I didn't care about the documentation/packaging/etc..? So from what it sounds like, this would be a realtime store(with great search) that could be used instead of a database or in conjunction? Is it wrong to say it's similar to bigtable from google in keeping realtime data in a non relational way but with a better search?
