Thanks you very much for your answer.

I was afraid of that the each document has about 20 fields.. As you pointed out 
it will slow down. Anyway I am thinking is it not possible to do the following:

Load Balancer 
     |
Solr A, Solr B, ...
     |
  one index

So I send 50% query to Solr A, 50% to Solr B and so forth.. is this not good? 
Also to add The index will be like a mounted drive to the solr boxes... On the 
above do I really need to worry about Solr Master, Solr Slave? It probably 
solve my load but I think query speed will be slow...

Just curious anyone using distributed search in production?

Cheers
