Hi Mike, Zoie itself doesn't do anything with the new with the distributed side of things - it just plays nicely with it. Zoie, at its core, exposes a couple of primary interfaces (well, this is a slightly simplified form of them) :
interface IndexReaderFactory { List getIndexReaders(); }, and interface DataConsumer{ void consume(Collection events); } To do distributed realtime search with zoie, you just need to make sure you get your indexing events to each of your nodes as fast as they show up, push them in through the DataConsumer API, and IndexReaders exposed through getIndexReaders() are then a fresh realtime read-only view on the index on each node. Doing distributed search with a setup like this now means just pushing your Query to all of the nodes, returning the top n hits from each back to a broker, sorting all n * num_nodes results by score and taking the top n of that combined list. Depending on your system's setup, you either push events to the nodes, or pull events from somewhere to them, but if you do the latter the realtimeliness will be bounded by how often you poll, of course. -jake On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 9:09 PM, Michael Masters <mmast...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Jake, > > Zoie looks like a a really cool project.
