I think what you might have read might have been that searching a Lucene index
that lives in a HDFS would be slow. As far as I understand things, the thing
to do is to copy the index to a local disk, out of HDFS, and then search it
with Lucene from there.

Oits,
You mentioned the hadoop project. I check it out not a long time ago and
I read someting about it did not support the lucene index. Is it possible to
index and then search in a HDFS?
