Solr - <http://lucene.apache.org/solr> - features faceting along the  
lines of your needs.

However, Solr does not currently support ParallelMultiSearcher, but it  
does support distributed searching across sharded Solr instances.   
Under the covers of Solr is simply a Lucene index.   There's no reason  
Solr couldn't be enhanced to support ParallelMultiSearcher, I don't  
think, but right now it only uses a single file based IndexSearcher.
