refers to Distributed Sorting.
Essentially this looks like a data storage strategy to facilitate a
distributed sort feature. How does this approach compare to Lucene's
sorting mechanism?
Look to Nutch to see how MapReduce is being implemented around Lucene
(but useful in other ways than Lucene also).
