i wouldn't call Terracotta approach magic(smile)..., it's being used quite a bit in many scalable high performing projects...
i personally used Terracotta and Lucene, and it worked but did not try to "cluster" it with multiple terracotta(workers) across nodes , and the Terracotta(master)..just a single box with two tomcat instances... However "talk is cheap", if I have the time over the next few weeks ill make a bench mark test based on the "Terracotta and Lucene", with maybe 3 nodes?and a 1 million documents.. maybe some others can do the same :)..
