They already share JGroups channels and other "heavy" components  
wherever possible.  Its just that configuration becomes more of a  
pain, etc.

When you say one cache per index, how do you define an index?  Does 1  
index mean all indexed data for a single java type?  In which case  
couldn't these scale up dynamically and potentially on-demand?  No  
wait - these are fixed in Hibernate Search on startup, correct?
