The right place for those questions is http://forum.hibernate.org

To answer your question, you have different DBs, so different SessionFactory configurations (using the same mapping I imagine). You will just have to change the following property in each hibernate.cfg.xml

hibernate.search.default.indexBase /usr/local/lucene/indexes/dbXX

Please follow up on the forum if you have further questions.

Hello, my name is Aleksander M. Stensby.
We are currently using Apache Lucene for our full-text indexing/ search system, but are considering a possible move over to Hibernate Search (or possibly Compass). I've been looking at Hibernate Search and have a question that I hope to get some help with here (if this is the right list to ask the question, that is.)

We currently have a pretty big and complex database system consisting of several "similar" databases. That is, the tables and the table structure of each of these X databses are the same, but the content is not, meaning it is not a mirroring og sharding system.

What we do at the moment is run X different indexes, each representing a different database. The indexing is done by batch jobs running several times a day (we have a pretty large flow into our database every day). The solution is not very scalable, as we have experienced, and it causes big problems if something goes wrong with one of these batch jobs. Also, we actually run one of these processes for each database, each dealing with its own index. So yeah... a big mess in general.

Since we do use Hibernate, I fell in love with the idéa of Hibernate's Event system taking care of this indexing for us, but one big and essential question remains:

How can Hibernate "tackle" several different "identical" databases?
I mean, the layout would be something like this:

DB#1
 - TableA
DB#2
 - TableA
DB#X
 - TableA

TableA in DB#1 would refer to entity no.integrasco.xxx.tableA, but so would TableA in DB#2, and TableA in DB#X... So how can we handle indexing of these entities into different indexes?

So that DB#1 - TableA goes into:
/usr/local/lucene/indexes/db1/tableA
DB#2 into
/usr/local/lucene/indexes/db2/tableA
etc..

Is it possible? Maybe I haven't spent enough time on this yet, if the answer is simple, please forgive me for wasting your time...

Best Regards,
Aleksander M. Stensby
