(...apologies for the cross posting...) Release 0.5 of Katta is now available. Katta - Lucene in the cloud. http://katta.sourceforge.net
This release fixes bugs from 0.4, including one that sorted the results wrong under load. 0.5 also upgrades to Zookeeper to version 3.1., Lucene to version 2.4.1 and hadoop 0.19.0.
The new API supports Lucene Query objects instead of just Strings, adds support for Amazon EC2, switched to Ant and Ivy as a build system and some more minor improvements. Also, we improved our online documentation and added sample code that illustrates how to create a sharded Lucene index with Hadoop.
