Thats the thing,Terracotta persists everything it has in memory to the disk when it overflows(u can set how much u want to use in memory), or when the server goes offline. When the server comes back the master terracotta simply loads it back into the memory of the once offline worker..identical to the approach SOLR already does to handle scalability...., this allows unlimited storage of the items in memory, ... you just need to cluster the "RAMDirectory" according to the sample giving by Terracotta....However i read some of the post here...I read some say: " i wonder how performance will be".,etc....i was trying to get it working..andload test the hell out it, and see how it acts with large amounts of data, and how it ompares with SOLR using typical FSDirectory approach.i plan to post findings..Jeryl Cook
