Hello,
I tried sending this message yesterday, but I think i wasn't registered
until now, so i'll post again. (Sorry if this gets doubled up).
I have recently started using Lucene and I must say i love it:)
But, i have a few questions (probably stupid ones), but still, here goes:
I have created one project that reads information from a database, then
indexes this information in a Lucene Index. This process runs about 4
times a day (the database has constant input flow).
In the beginning of my development i created a search engine project to
search this engine (web-based) using lucene and spring. (i have yet to
investigate Compass Framework)
I have recently found an increasing need to restructure my code-base and
make the search logic available to other projects aswell. I therefore
created a search-API and a search-luceneimpl project.
I then created another project, a web service offering the basic search
feature, with a list of information beans as a return object.
the problem is this, (and the whole confusion regarding indexsearchers,
writers and stuff:) ):
i noticed today that the webservice only access a "snapshot" of the index,
from the actual moment the webservice was loaded. If i then reload the
webservice context, the results will be "up-to-date" again. So it seems
that i have done something wrong in my logic. (doh)
In the webservice, i load my searcher-class from the spring-context,
setting it in the constructor.
The searcher-class have the following logic in its constructor:
searcher = new IndexSearcher(indexPath);
then i have specified a close-method in the spring-context, which will
call the close method containing the
searcher.close();
I have read that one should only open one searcher object and use this for
all searches, then close it when done... Well, that is a bit tricky i
think. As for now i have to projects "reading" from the index (the old
search-engine project) and this new web service. In addition the
indexer-project is the only project writing to the index...
Any ideas or input to a mere beginner on how to organize this mess?
Sincerely yours,
Aleksander M. Stensby
