Hi all,
I'm happy to announce that the new release of Luke - the Lucene Index
Toolbox - is available for download (or WebStart use) here:
http://www.getopt.org/luke
Changes in v. 0.9:
------------------
This release adds many functionality enhancements and advanced features
available in Lucene 2.4.
* New features and improvements:
o Added new tools:
+ Check Index - checks Lucene indexes for problems, and can fix some
of them. This is a GUI front-end to the Lucene CheckIndex tool.
+ Export to XML - exports index data and metadata to an XML file.
This is available both from the GUI and from the command-line.
o Significantly improved Optimize and Cleanup tools.
o Added ability to set norms on any indexed field in a document, or a
range of documents.
o Delete multiple documents by specifying ranges of document numbers.
o Added support for new field functionality: omitTF and binary fields.
o Improve the low-level information about the index, including format
version.
o Show interesting details about IndexCommit points and associated files.
o Add short explanations of index files' functions.
o Improve document reconstruction - now the information from
TermFreqVector can be used if available. Also, DocReconstructor can be
used outside of Luke.
o Significantly improved advanced search options - QueryParser
settings, Similarity and HitCollector settings.
o Read-only functionality is supported directly in IndexReader.
* Bug fixes:
A lot of effort went into refactoring the code, moving away if possible
from the spaghetti code influenced by Thinlet and into a modular design.
Still much needs to be done here. :(
This means that there are likely many more bugs than in the previous
release, although I tested all functionality to make sure that there is
no data loss.
HOWEVER, if you work with precious data, it's always a good idea to use
the "Read-only" option.
As usually, bug reports or suggestions for improvements, or even better
patches, are welcome!
