DBSight helps not to reinvent the wheel

Mike has a great usage of Lucene http://blogs.atlassian.com/rebelutionary/archives/2007/04/my_serverside_java_symposium_2007_presen.html

First of all, fantastic effort!

But I see from the presentation that he is having problems for large Lucene indexes, and he wants to resolve it using Eden space strategy, and a pretty complicated strategy for clustered Lucene index .

DBSight is using Eden space strategy already, and uses a simple and robust Lucene index replication mechanism for clustering. It requires a dedicated Indexing server, but it easily relieves all other nodes' heavy Indexing process.

And DBSight can accept Lucene queries directly. So you can implement anything he has done.

Lucene is already kind of complicated. To mingle it with a sophisticated application is a lot of effort. DBSight is just trying to make search super easy and not to reinvent the wheel.
