If your question is about scaling only, I'd put my money on Solr when compared to Compass+Lucene if you are looking at the OO(T?)B offering. Check the Solr Wiki for Master/Slave information. If you go with Compass+Lucene, you'll need to do implement something like that yourself.

The search is across different types of data, so it does not scale well from the database. As lucene does not allow to store relational data, we decided to try out Compass since it provides a object relation mapping to the lucene index. We have got good results with compass when compared to the database search. But before we migrate the all the other search workflows to use compass, we are trying to evaluate Solr. We will need to scale our application as our data is increasing by the day. Can anyone suggest which one would perform/scale well Compass or Solr? OR Has anyone tried to use a combination of Compass & Solr? Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks, Harini
