[infinispan-dev] Re: Infinispan and search APIs

Hi guys, I've been trying to get jbc-searchable working with JbossCache 3, but then I noticed this thread for Infinispan. I am trying to build a proof-of-concept for a distributed searchable cache, and obviously infinispan with hibernate search would be an ideal solution. At what stage of development is this? Is it possible to use the existing jbc-searchable code with infinispan? Should I perhaps stick with jbc for now? On a related note, I like the idea that each node builds and stores its own indices for data it currently hosts. It would also be nice if these indices could be further partitioned (in our case, we would like to do this per-day, other situations maybe based on a modulous of the hash code) to reduce the size of the indices. Replicated indices are ok if they dont change that often, but ours will be updated almost constantly, and so you either need to nominate one node to do the work, or have some distributed locking in place, which would probably kill performance. Building an index locally also provides protection against index corruption by having redundant copies around the grid. We are intending to do deduplication and score normalization ourselves. I also tried using the jbosscache-lucene Directory implementation that Manik wrote, but things started to die when lucene tried to merge segments. Has there been any work to create a infinispan-backed lucene Directory? Regards, Ray Hilton
