Hi, We experimented using HBase's scalable infrastructure to scale out Lucene: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01143.html
There is the concern on the impact of HDFS's random read performance on Lucene search performance. And we can discuss if HBase's architecture is best for scale-out Lucene. But to me, the general idea of reusing a scalable infrastructure (if a suitable one exits) is appealing - such an infrastructure already handles repartitioning for scalability, fault tolerance etc. I agree with Otis that the first step for Lucene is probably to support real-time search. The instantiated index in contrib seems to be something close...
