Hello,
I need to implement a search tool, and I would like to know if Lucene could
be used for my particular problem. Let's take an example:
A hotel company has several hundreds of hotels around the world. for each
hotel there are hundreds of rooms, whose price are constantly changing. The
idea is to create a multi-criteria search tool to find a room. The pieces of
information to store are all the same, they are something like: (room_size,
number_of_stars, city, date_of_arrival, number_of_beds, price...)
Let's says there are around 15 caracteristics, and about 5 millions pieces
of information. The goal is to obtain a tool that:
- handles multi-criteria search
- can be updated all the time
- answers quickly
According to what I read about Lucène, this is a powerfull tool for
combining different criteria, and would be great for enriching the
information by creating more complex criteria. But my questions are:
- Is Lucene performant for very dynamic data? There would be dozens to
hundreds of updates per second
- Is Lucene performant for this kind of search (it is not the typical
text-search, date-range and price-range searches will occur a lot)
- Would Lucene be more performant than a standard database indexing
solution?
Thanks for your help,
Emilien Beucler
