Michael, There is no single system that will provide Twitter like functionality. You'd have to look into Lucene/Solr for searching, memcached (for example) for caching, maybe caching layer in front of Solr (e.g. varnish, squid, apache), something to store the data in (e.g. RDBMS, HBase, HDFS, depending on your precise needs), etc.

Just to back up and think about if solr/lucene realtime updating is what I want to begin with.. Would this be something that a twitter type system might use to be more scalable and fast? Let's just say that I have a site with as much message traffic as twitter and I want to be able to update and search fast/realtime. Would this be the path you would initially send me? For example, do you know of a system out there that does memcached type fast caching and lookup but has the ability to look them up with sorting and filtering? Thanks
