Hi Guys, It depends on what properties you're trying to maximize. I've done several studies of this over the years:
http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/pubs/MSST2006.pdf http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/pubs/IWICSS07.pdf http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/pubs/icse-shark08.pdf And if you're really bored, and have time, this one: http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/Dissertation.pdf It would be nice to see how Lucene/Solr as an application that induces distribution scenarios affects the underlying data transfer, similar to the approaches described in the above papers. HTH!
