Hello all,

First a little background - we are developing a clustered application that will in part leverage Lucene to provide index and search capabilities. We have already spent time investigating various index storage implementations (database vs. filesystem) and we've decided for performance reasons to go with a filesystem index storage scheme.

That said, I have read back through the archives a bit and noticed that the support for index storage on NFS is still experimental (e.g. the latest bugfixes have not made it out to an official, stable release). I realize most of the issues related to using a shared file system revolve around locking, and I haven't seen much about the maturity of locking for other network filesystems.

I was wondering if anyone has tried any other networked filesystems or had any recommendations. We have clients who would be doing this on both Windows and Unix/Linux so any insight there would be appreciated as well - it can be assumed that across any cluster the operating system use would be homogeneous (i.e. all nodes are on windows and would use windows shares, or all nodes are on linux and would use xyz filesystem).

Thanks in advance,
-Zach Bailey
