Sorry, but you really are going to need to work on your "Lucene Basics"
before you tackle such an ambitious effort.
The Lucene JavaDoc, Solr Wikis, Stack Underflow, blogs of McCandless, et al,
and Google search in general will cover a lot of the ground, including those
mysterious terms:
- Indexed terms
- Stored values
- Payloads
- DocValues

I don't think I could get much from what you said, could you please
elaborate? Appreciate.

Your stored value could be very different from your indexed (searchable)
value. You can also associate payloads with an indexed term. And there are
DocValues as well.

Sure. Thanks Jack.
I don't have much experience working with Lucene, however, here is what I
am trying to resolve.
I learned that the Custom attributes cannot be used for indexing or
searching purposes. However I wanted the attributes to be used for
indexing
and searching. So I created custom attributes and inserted them as tokens
into the tokenstream by assigning positionIncrement attribute to 0. Now
since my new token stream has attributes(as tokens) and they are used
while
indexing, I can now search the document based on the attributes(tokens I
newly inserted). However I still have an issue. And by the way I have a
lot
of attributes that I need to assign to an individual token.
Ex: Sentence: "LinkedIn is famous"
After passing through custom analyzer and few filters that I have written
and appending Attributes to the tokens, the new Tokenstream we get is
"LinkedIn Noun SocialSite famous JJ Positive" - (what that means is that
LinkedIn is Noun and is also an Socialsite, famous is an adjective and
also
a Positive word, 'is' is removed as it does not make sense to index 'is')
This is now definitely searchable based on Attributes(Here: Noun,
SocialSite, JJ, Positive).
However, since I have put this entire text "LinkedIn is famous" as a Field
while adding a Document, when I search for say "SocialSite", I get a
Document as an output which has "LinkedIn is famous" as one of the fields.
However, is it possible to get only "LinkedIn" as output rather than an
entire text? i.e Only the actual token(the token present in the original
input) as output?
Another example: if I search for say "Positive" I should get "famous" as
output and not the entire "LinkedIn is famous".
I know that if I put it as a Field in the document, I should be able to
get
it, but how do I add such a Field? because, only when the Tokens are
passed
through the filters we get to know what all Attributes would be attached
to
it, so while we do indexwriter.addDocument() we have no idea about the
Attributes.
The typical problem that I see is the indexing is done based on the new
tokenstream which is good, but when it retrieves the Document, it has the
older actual Tokenstream(or actual input) and that is what is given as
output.
Does that make any sense? Or I have a typical use case that does not go
well with Lucene?
Any help comments are appreciated.

Even though you've posted for Lucene, you might want to consider taking a
look at Solr because Solr has an Admin UI with an Analysis page which
gives
you a nice display of how index and query text is analyzed into tokens,
terms, and attributes - all of which Solr inherits from Lucene.
And check out the unit tests for Lucene (and Solr) for indexing. Then you
can actually step through code and see it happen.
Otherwise, google for blogs on various sub-topics of interest with
specific terms.
OTOH... don't try diving too deeply until you've written and understood a
fair amount of Java code using Lucene. Otherwise, you won't have enough
context to understand or even ask intelligent questions.

Subject: Lucene Indexes explanantion
Hello,
My first time post in this group.
I have been using Lucene recently. I have a question.
Where can I find a good explanation on Indexes. Or rather how indexing
(Not
really the mathematical aspect) happens in Lucene, what all
attributes(charTerm, Offset etc) come into play? And the way it is
implemented? I checked the "Lucene In Action" and could not find much on
actual indexing, what all classes etc are being used.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
NIKHIL
