Yuriy, Note what one of major blockers for text queries is [1] which makes lucene indexes unusable with persistence and main reason for discontinuation. Probably it's should be addressed first to make text queries a valid product feature.
Distributed sorting and advanved querying is indeed not a trivial task. Some kind of merging must be implemented on query originating node.
