Hi Andi, thanks for reply. I just got my hands on the "Lucene in Anction" book and some questions disappeared.
A great thing you did, Andi, PyLucene is a wonderful piece of work, really, thank you. Well, I plan to use PyLucene rather more for the top-level API-calls. That is, not that much data throughput, no huge number of calls. Extensions, if any, would be written in Java. So, now I am reading about scalability approaches in Lucene and, I hope, it will work in PyLucene too. best regards -- Valery A.Khamenya On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 10:45 PM, Andi Vajda <va...@apache.org> wrote: > > On Aug 14, 2009, at 12:33, Valery Khamenya <khame...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi >> what would be the best way to call Lucene from Python application? >> >> Is PyLucene really a good way for it? >> >> In particular: >> >> What about PyLucene's scalability? >> >> What about PyLucene vs Lucene performance? >> (this post is quite old: http://markmail.org/message/5pjbs7mdh4fpvsjb) >> > > PyLucene is a Python wrapper around Java Lucene.
