Hi, My company would like to make the following contribution to Lucene (in sandbox?) licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Background: While doing project work on a web-based search engine we have developed a component called LuceneIndexAccessor. This component provides a high-level index access interface, that is, it synchronizes read/write access to a Lucene index. You no longer need to worry about concurrently opening readers/writers/searchers. The component also does caching where applicable. Further, it makes sure that all Searchers get closed whenever you have added a document to the index. You can download the source here: http://www.blizzy.de/lucene/lucene-indexaccess-0.1.0.zip Using LuceneIndexAccessor is incredibly simple: Directory directory = ... Analyzer analyzer = ... // somewhere near program start IIndexAccessProvider accessProvider = new IndexAccessProvider(directory, analyzer); ILuceneIndexAccessor accessor = new LuceneIndexAccessor(accessProvider); accessor.open(); IndexWriter writer = null; try { writer = accessor.getWriter(); // use writer... } catch (IOException e) { // ... } finally { accessor.release(write); } // somewhere near program exit accessor.close(); (Opening IndexReaders or Searchers follows the same use pattern.) Right now, the source compiles against a CVS version of Lucene. Also, it uses Log4J for logging. We're happy with changing that if need arises. -- Maik Schreiber * http://www.blizzy.de GPG public key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x1F11D713 Key fingerprint: CF19 AFCE 6E3D 5443 9599 18B5 5640 1F11 D713 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
