It would be interesting to see how this performs, compared to running Lucene, So...

Running ElasticSearch on AWS is pretty easy, see http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/2012/03/21/deploying-...

This could replace SOLR for one of my sites - I'll need to do some benchmarks to compare them when deciding if it makes sense to move. If so, I can probably post CloudSearch:SOLR comparisons at least.

Lucene and Solr eat too many memory, they are not fit to vps users. Cloudsearch is more cheaper than setup a delicate server for search.

it seems that the latest Solr 3.5.0. release use less memory: Bug fixes and improvements from Apache Lucene 3.5.0, including a very substantial (3-5X) RAM reduction required to hold the terms index on opening an IndexReader http://lucene.apache.org/solr/solrnews.html
