So an HDFS store was not a certainty at the time that was written. It also says: "A local FS will always be faster then HDFS..." I think Blur and Solr have shown that HDFS-based performance can be comparable to that of local file systems. HDFS-based indexing is valuable when folks are also using Hadoop for other purposes (MapReduce, SQL queries, HBase, etc.). There are considerable operational efficiencies to a shared storage system. For example, disk space, users, etc. can be centrally managed. Doug
