So basically, you:  - load and change an entity E1 in B (2 I/O)  - send a message with the change diff to A (1 I/O)  - load B's index (1 I/O)  - create an entity out of the document you've loaded from B's index (1 I/O for the doc load meaning you are storing data in the index making it bigger)  - store the new entity and index it (2 I/O) Why don't you do:  - load and change an entity E1 in B (2 I/O)  - send a message with the entity (1 I/O)  - create an entity out of the entity passed as a message  - store the new entity and index it (2 I/O) > > In relation to GigaSpaces, i started on this and created a openspaces > project but there really hasnt been much momentum on it and as you > guys have > done work around JGroups, JMS I thought it might be a nice addition. It could certainly be a nice addition, I don't know GigaSpaces in detail but if you are thinking about putting indexes onto the data grid as opposed to the  it probably looks similar to what we have done with Infinispan. We have the infinispan prototype at ...

There are many areas where you can help. On of them is the programmatic mapping API that I have started a while back. The concept is there I think but there are still many mappings missing and the doc is non existent. http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-352 If you are interested, let me know and we could chat on IRC or something like that this week. >  To be honest I'm > hoping for some guidance from you guys.   As I mentioned before > Hibernate > Search is a really great library and I would like to help whatever > way I > can. > > P.S Hadoop and Hibernate Search? I haven't thought about that yet as I barely know Hadoop.
