Re: mySQL and full text indexing

Mike,

There are a number of minor projects of this nature ie.
http://www.mnogosearch.org .

Lucene is the dominant OSS indexer. The only thing I could imagine would
be a problem would be Java, which PHP people seem to avoid like the plague
and needlessly FUD. In addition, Java usually introduces a minor( if not
negligible ) hosting cost.

re: Hadoop, I'm not sure if you want to use that on its own, its a file
system that is optimized for large volumes and I believe it has distributed
capability.

thanks, jmz
