That's good to hear :-)

Hibernate Search also offers master/slave setups using JMS or JGroups for communication between master and slaves. Have a look at http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#jms-backend
Also it is possible to split large indexes into multiple shards (if this is what you mean with sharding). Do you have a concrete use case or requirement you think Search cannot meet?
