Hi all, It was interesting to hear Mark Butler present his implementation of Distributed Lucene at the Hadoop User Group meeting in London on Tuesday. There's obviously been quite a bit of discussion on the subject, and lots of interested parties. Mark, not sure if you're on this list but thanks for sharing. Is this the forum to ask about open projects? I'm interested in joining a project as long as it's goals aren't too distant to what I'm looking for. Based mostly on gut feeling I'd rather go for a stand-alone project that wasn't dependent on HDFS/Hadoop, but willing to be convinced otherwise. Rich
