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.


Thanks

Subject: indexing binary files?

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?

Thanks,

./paul
