I have to ask why do you care? Which is another way of asking what problem you're trying to solve that you think this information would help with. As far as I know Lucene is an inverted index, period. You use IndexWriter to create it.
Really the best way to get a sense for which classes to use is to work through some of the examples in Lucene In Action or on the website. This may help as far as the structure of the index is concerned: http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/fileformats.html Best Erick On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 5:36 AM, Nada Mimouni < mimo...@tk.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> wrote: > > Hello everybody, > > 1) What is the difference between : > - inverted index > - nextword index > - common index > > 2) Which one(s) is(are) supported by Lucene? > > 3) Which class(es) create this(those) index(es)? > > > Thank you in advance for your help. > Nada Mimouni > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org > >
