This catching title will be not about distributed hibernate search, but something really close :)

The case I’ve recently solved was a quite different. I have a frontend application that uses hibernate database and hibernate search, and then I needed to add additional application - let’s call it an integration server, which exposes some API webservices for the overall system. Integration server uses the same database as the frontend application, and enables clients to put data to the database using its webservices. Both applications exist on two different physical servers, as well.

My way to reflect permission system implemented on database/ORM level in full text indexing system based on Lucene.
