I am a novice in lucene. I write some code to do batch indexing using RAMDirectory according to the code provided in lucene in action, which is something like FSDirectory fsDir = FSDirectory.getDirectory("/tmp/index",
true); RAMDirectory ramDir = new RAMDirectory(); IndexWriter fsWriter = IndexWriter(fsDir, new SimpleAnalyzer(), true); IndexWriter ramWriter = new IndexWriter(ramDir, new SimpleAnalyzer(), true); while (there are documents to index) { ... create Document ... ramWriter.addDocument(doc); if (condition for flushing memory to disk has been met) { fsWriter.addIndexes(Directory[] {ramDir}); ramWriter.close(); ramWriter = new IndexWriter(ramDir, new SimpleAnalyzer(), true); } } But it cannot compile correctly on fsWriter.addIndexes(Directory[] {ramDir}); It seems some problem with ramDir. Is there something changed at lucene 2.0? How can I implement batch indexing correctly? Any simple code. Thanks! Eric
