You’re better off creating Lucene Segments in R2 and letting Lucene remotely access them (if Lucene could run on Worker as WASM). Or something very like Lucene but compiled to WASM.

You’d also need to manage the Lucene Segments or Solar/ElasticSearch Shard Metadata in Workers KV. You’d need a pool of Workers that are Coordination Nodes, another pool as “Data Nodes / Shards” and a non-Workers pool creating and uploading Lucene segments to R2.

It shouldn’t be so hard to do actually. Cloudflare would need more granular knobs for customers to fine tune the R2 replication to be collocated with the Worker execution locations so it’s really fast).
