Is it possible to simply change configuration to use RAMDirectory , instead of the FSDirectory..if not it would be great to have this as possible option int he configuration file....The Master/Worker pattern used for handling scalability works(outlined in SOLR manual/wiki).....its a proven pattern..however Terracotta , http://terracottatech.com/ is able to cluster the RAMDirectory(items that cannot fit in memory are managed written to disk.) ..i would love to take advantageof this approach...can you tell me if it is possible to switch out??Thanks.Jeryl Cook /^\ Pharaoh /^\
