Cache modes and index management
Cache modes and managing indexes Index management is currently controlled by the Configuration.setIndexLocalOnly() setter, or the XML element. If you set this to true, only modifications made locally on each node are considered in indexing. Otherwise, remote changes are considered too.  Regarding actually configuring a Lucene directory, please refer to the Hibernate Search documentation on how to pass in the appropriate Lucene configuration via the Properties object passed to QueryHelper.
