Subject: Re: Using lucene as a database... good idea or bad idea?
If essentially all you need is key-value storage, Berkeley DB for Java
works
well. Lookup by ID is fast, can iterate through documents, supports
secondary keys, updates, etc.
Lucene would work relatively well for this, although inserting documents
might not be as fast, because segments need to be merged and data ends up
getting copied over again at certain points. So if you're running a batch
process with a lot of inserts, you might get better throughput with BDB as
opposed to Lucene, but, of course, benchmark to confirm ;)

Hi Ganesh,
in this Thread nobody said, that lucene is a good storage server.
Only "it could be used as storage server" (Grant: Connect data storage
with
simple, fast lookup and Lucene..)
I don't now about automatic rentention.
But for the rest in your list of features I suggest to take a deep look
to
- Jackrabbit (Standard jcr jsr170 implemention, I like the webDAV
support)
- dSpace (real working content repository software, with good
permissions
management)
Both use lucene for searching
Best regards
Karsten
