Hi all: I heard that Nutch put Lucene index file on HDFS, and wait for searcher. As far as I know, HDFS is not designed for low-latency visiting.
So why Nutch put index file on HDFS? why not stored on local filesystem, and use normally RPC to call search function? I also heard that Nutch used MapFile a lot, do you think put those data on HBase is a good alternative? Thank you in advance
