GridFS/Lucene and HotRod

[jramsdale]

Is it appropriate to use GridFS over HotRod? How about Lucene? I believe I ran across a post that indicated the latter was not recommended.

Lucene over Hot Rod is not recommended since it frequently pulls back entire indexes over a remote connection to potentially not return much.

GridFS, OTOH, may well be a valid use case, and off the top of my head I can't see anything wrong with this pattern, however I haven't seen anyone do this to date.  Would love to hear your feedback on your experiences.  :-)

Thanks--I'll give GridFS a try!

Hi James, I'm not sure what you're planning to do, but since you're mentioning Lucene and GridFS in the same post, I'm feeling the need to warn you that while GridFS should work over hotrod, you can't store a Lucene Index on it as it won't have appropriate locking semantics.
