Hi Paul, have you tried persisting the binaries in Base64 format and then indexing them? As you are aware, Base64 is a robust representation used in email attachments for example.

Hi - I've looked on the FAQ, the Java Docs, and searched a little in google, but haven't been able to figure out if Lucene can index binary files. Our binary files can get up into the 20-30 gigabyte range. If it is possible, anyone have any pointers to what interfaces I should look at?
