[pylucene-dev] pylucene and recommendations for RAM

[David Pratt]

Hi Andi. What needs to be done and where would one get started - is this 
java programming? This is where we need Nuxeo and their java skills :-) 
Do you feel this could solve the issue of a remotely distributed index? 
It seems as though it is the answer - but I have no experience with this 
at the moment to draw from. I have been reading posts on mailing lists 
about large indexes. Can you see a series of 2GB servers serving up 
search for 50+ million docs efficiently through the Remote Parallel 
Multisearcher. Many thanks.

Regards,
David
