It is implemented in Java. It has native API implementation in CSharp. Java runtime is not required and the performance is comparable to Java. It has support of REST interface which could be called from PHP and Ruby.
If you have search instances running in multiple nodes and search has to perform across the nodes, then you need a way to combine those results, filter and sort them. Carrot2 helps to do this job efficiently. It is well suited to work with Lucene, Solr and Nutch.
Carrot2 could be even called as meta search engine. It has built-in functionality to fetch results from all popular search-engines and combine them.
