Hadoop is not a search engine.  It is a distributed file system
designed for massive data partitioning and manipulation.

I'd be surprised if you have so many marcxml records that you'd need
more than one system to store and index them all into a basic Lucene
index.  If so, I'm curious to know more about the numbers you're
dealing with.
