TerraCotta cluster Lucene

[karl wettin <ka...@gmail.com>]

Some people might find this interesting. I have personally not looked  
at it in depth:

Engineers at TerraCotta have detailed a new way to cluster lucene,  
the popular text search library from Apache. Their method involves  
implementing the lucene RAMDirectory interface and using TerraCotta  
DSO to share the RAMDirectory across JVMs.

Interesting that the article references a post I made here. In the end
I did not end up needing that lucene code change for two reasons.

1) I ended up just clustering the RAMDirectory itself so the subclass
of the collection ended up not being shared
2) In the coming release (early december) we'll be supporting
subclasses of collections.

Pretty neat stuff. Doing the exercise ended up leading to some
performance tuning that made it work pertty well. That is also coming
in the early december release.

Cheers,
Steve
