Lucene is probably not the solution if you are looking for a relational model. You should be using a database for that. If you want to combine Lucene with a relational model, check out Hibernate and the new EJB annotations that it supports...there is a cool little Lucene add-on that lets you declare fields to be indexed (and how) with annotations.

Hi,

As I understand, Lucene has a flat structure where you can define multiple 
fields inside the document. There is no relationship between any field.

I would like to enable index based search for some of the components inside relational database. For exmaple, let say "Folder" Object. The Folder object can have relationship with File object. The File object, in turn, can have attributes like is image, is text file, etc. So, the stricture is Folder -- > File
             |
             ------- > is image, is text file, ......


I would like to enable a search to find a Folder with File of type image. How 
can we model such relational data inside Lucene index?

Regards,
Rajesh
