[Stefan G. <sg...@10...>]

After 5 month work we are happy to announce the first developer  
preview release of katta.
This release contains all functionality to serve a large, sharded  
lucene index on many servers.
Katta is standing on the shoulders of the giants lucene, hadoop and  
zookeeper.

Main features:
+ Plays well with Hadoop
+ Apache Version 2 License.
+ Node failure tolerance
+ Master failover
+ Shard replication
+ Plug-able network topologies (Shard - Distribution and Selection  
Polices)
+ Node load balancing at client



Please give katta a test drive and give us some feedback!
