My ServerSide Java Symposium 2007 Presentations - Lucene and Clustering
The nice folks at The ServerSide invited me back to Vegas this year to give two presentations at this years TSSJS 2007 in late March.
I gave two presentations, which I've attached here in case anyone is interested in reading them who couldn't attend the conference itself.
- Lucene For Generic Data Indexing (PDF - 1.9MB) - covers how Atlassian use Lucene as a generic indexing framework for indexing and finding arbitrary collections of complex objects.
- Pragmatic Clustering (PDF - 1.1MB) - a real world case study highlighting the lessons learned in adding clustering capabilities to a large J2EE application, in this case Confluence
Any feedback, I'd love to hear it!
Just add a comment below.

A minor correction. Terracotta is now open source.
Hi, Mike,
First of all, fantastic effort!
I would like you to take a look at DBSight.net
I see from your presentation that you are having problems for large Lucene indexes, and you want 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 btw, DBSight can accept Lucene queries directly.
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.

Investments
Advising startups is something I've started doing in the last year. It's a fascinating way to use one's brain and experience to solve other people's problems.
I'm loving it.
Besides the few I advise, I've invested in one, HomeThinking.
HomeThinking provides realtor reviews, ratings and metrics (qualitative and quantitive) for home sellers.
I also make a lot of small microfinance loans to entrepreneurs around the world through Kiva. Read more about my on going Kiva Challenge (update).
