Your planing something quite impressive here ... or frightening ;) My comments:
Lucene/Hibernate Search I'd strongly disagree in using neither Lucene directly nor Hibernate Search. I'd give +1000 to Compass (http://compass-project.org/) instead. I migrated my projects completely from Hibernate Search to Compass and didn't regret it a single second. Jackrabbit Doesn't Jackrabbit come wit Lucene integration itself? Terracotta I used Terracotta for a while. Don't know what you mean by "all across the world", but I'd say that Terracotta was built with very low network latency in mind. However, You will need *a lot* of users and page impressions until you'll really need it (move stuff like search on dedicated machines, maybe clustered with terracotta (compass comes with terracotta support)). Facebook Connect I integrated a Wicket application with Facebook (http://www.setlist.fm/). Feel free to contact me, if you're interested into that stuff.
