Hi All, I have two questions here
1- Lucene generates id for every document it indexes and it does in order..0,1,2,3.....n .Can i make lucene use my id ( my id for a document ..say randomly generated unique id for a document) as lucene id. The reason i am asking this question because lucene filter uses lucene id ( to create BitSet ) and i dont wanna keep multiple ids . 2- Is there any way to change lucene's scoring formula without changing the lucene core. I know, there is one way of doing this is to extend the similarity and thats really simple but it can help only in formulae which has tf and idf in multiplication. for example a formula like tf(power n) * idf ( power m) can be easily implemented using similarity but what about the formula tf(power n) + idf(power m ) is there a simple way to implement the above without changing lucene core ( i know one way to do is too change the TermScorer and hardcore the + sign but that's too naive :) Thanks a lot ...
