Off-Topic tangent: I believe it would be useful to organize a session at Lucene Revolution, possibly more interactive than a straight presentation, where users with very large indexes are encouraged to attend. The point of this session would be to exchange war stories, configuration requirements, hardware requirements, and observations. Bringing people with similar goals together to discuss their solutions should be beneficial. The discussions could pinpoint areas where Solr and SolrCloud are weak on scalability, and hopefully lead to issues in Jira and fixes for those problems. Better documentation for extreme scaling is also a possible outcome. Another idea, not sure if it would be good as an alternate idea or supplemental, is a less formal gathering, perhaps over a meal or three. My index is hardly large enough to mention, but I would be interested in attending such a gathering to learn more about the topic. Thanks, Shawn
