Whooohooo, these are exciting times for those interested in Lucene =)
http://drupal.org/project/solr
Solr is an open source enterprise search server based on the Lucene Java search library, with XML/HTTP and JSON APIs, hit highlighting, faceted search, caching, replication, and a web administration interface. It runs in a Java servlet container such as Tomcat.

I like a good project!
Would you guess the primary advantage of this technique is the de-coupling of the crawling/parsing and the indexing/searching, or the ease of distributedness:) Making up words is fun...

I may implement SOLR for work
One other problem it solves is if your data you need to index is on a windows server and the indexer/searcher happens to be on unix. Especially if the data being indexed is not web crawlable. (another good word:)
