Grant started something on this once: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/WritingDistributedSearchComponents It's only a start though. Unfortunately, to this point, adventurous souls have had to debug and study there way to understanding the distrib process solo mostly. Perhaps we can encourage anyone that has written a distributed component to help jump in on that wiki page. Any takers? - Mark Miller lucidimagination.com
