When you say your cluster is on a single machine, do you mean that you have
multiple webservers on the same machine all of which search a single Lucene
index?
Yes, this is my case.
Do you use Lucene as your persistent store or do you have a DB back there?
I use Lucene to search for data stored in a PostgreSQL server.
what is your current update/delete strategy because real time inserts from the
webservers directly to the index will not work because you can't have multiple
writers.
I have to do this in real time, what are the available solutions? My
application has the ability to do batch update/delete to a Lucene
index but I would like to do this in real time.
One solution I am thinking is to have each cluster has it own index
and use parallel search. This makes my application even more complex.
I strongly recommend Quartz, it's rock solid and really versatile.
I am using Quartz, it is really great and supports cluster.
Thanks,

simple, as long as you persist to a single DB and then designate one of
your servers (or even another server) to update/delete the index. Do you
use Lucene as your persistent store or do you have a DB back there? and
what is your current update/delete strategy because real time inserts
from the webservers directly to the index will not work because you
can't have multiple writers. Updating a dirty flag on rows that need to
be indexed/deleted, or using a table for this task and then batching
your updates would be ideal, and if you're using server specific
scheduling, I strongly recommend Quartz, it's rock solid and really
versatile.
My two cents.

My cluster is on a single machine and I am using FS index.
I have already integrated Lucene into my web application for use in a
non-clustered environment. I don't know what I need to do to make it
work in a clustered environment.

IMHO, Issues that you need to consider
* Atomicity of updates and deletes if you are using multiple indexes
on multiple machines (the case if your cluster is over a wide network)
* Scheduled indecies to core data comparison and sanitization
(intensive)
This all depends on what the volume of change is on your index and
whether you'll be using a Memory resident index or an FS index.
This should start the ball rolling, we've been using Lucene successfully
on a distributed cluster for a while now, and as long as you're aware of
some basic NDS limitations/constraints you should be fine.
Hope this helps

Hi
I would like to use Lucene in a clustered environment, what are the
things that I should consider and do?
I would like to use the same ordinary index storage for all the nodes
in the the cluster, possible?
Thanks,
