Hi Everyone,

We are using lucene,nutch and spring framework to create a specialized
search engine. Due to growing traffic we are trying to scale. By doing some
tests we found out that the bottle neck was lucene search. We used some
heavy traffic simulation and logged the time taken by each portion of the
server response and found out that the bulk of the time was spent in
searching from lucene index.

In order to accomodate higher traffic we are planning on splitting our
application in 2 portions:
1. Web application (on 1 machine)
2. Search application (one more than 1 machine)

[snip]

Nutch already supports distributed Lucene searchers, using Hadoop RPC.
