Can you run multiple para nodes using the Lucene index backend?

Hi there, just want to check if using multiple para nodes behind a load balancer can use the lucene backend for indexing? Will the indices be kept in sync somehow? Or should we rather switch over to Elastic when using multiple nodes?

Thanks!

Lucene is suitable for single-node setups because it stores data locally and doesn't support clustering. Elasticsearch is more suitable for multi-node deployments behind a load balancer.
