Hi All Thank you for your valuable feedback. I agree that the Spring integration should actually be done on the Spring side. To be honest I have been somewhat annoyed with Spring and agree that putting Spring into the Hibernate Search isn't probably a good idea. It makes sense for Spring to be doing the work to integrate with Hibernate Search. I have created a Spring Integration Lucene indexing project on Google code which basically does aysnc indexing, this application takes in a directory and indexes files (extracts text using apache tika).
2) The reason for this came about when I was developing something for our application. Basically we have 2 products, one of the products has knowledge of the other so basically A knows certain things about B however B doesn't know about A (our crazy codebase). In B some entities are hibernate search indexed and some of the data is required in A. So instead of returning the entity to A, B publishes an event with some data and then A gets the lucene document from the B's index (hope people are still following me at this point), and populates an entity which is subsequently indexed in A. I created this method in A's codebase and thought that it would be handy to get the raw lucene document without creating a FullTextQuery and the do a search. The aim is to read a document using a convenient method to do this on the FullTextSession. In relation to GigaSpaces, i started on this and created a openspaces project but there really hasnt been much momentum on it and as you guys have done work around JGroups, JMS I thought it might be a nice addition. What I would like to do help as much as I can and I'm happy to do what you guys need doing (writing documentation, writing tests, etc). To be honest I'm hoping for some guidance from you guys. As I mentioned before Hibernate Search is a really great library and I would like to help whatever way I can. P.S Hadoop and Hibernate Search?
