Re: Proposal for changing Lucene's backwards-compatibility policy

2009-10-30 Thread Gopikrishnan Subramani
My vote is for option A. It's generally implied that a major version brings in major changes (api as well as others), while the minor is, well, minor. Why should that be broken for lucene? It would become increasingly difficult for the lucene user community to catch up if they skipped one or two mi

All I could suspect is perhaps you are trying to add documents to an index that was originally created using Lucene 1.4.3. If trying to create a fresh index doesn't work, you could send me your indexer code so I can take a look. -Gopi On 12/19/06, JT Kimbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi,

Did you check POI javadocs? Look for org.apache.poi.hslf.extractor.PowerPointExtractor. It's one of the most straightforward classes from POI as far extracting text for indexing is concerned. -Gopi On 9/7/06, Venkateshprasanna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Is there any filter available for extra

Not sure if it helps, but I have been using Luke (webstart version) from it's website for quite sometime now for inspecting and manipulating my indexes built using Lucene 2.0. I may not be a power user of Luke in that sense, but I haven't found any issues using the basic features. Gopi On 8/25/

Erik's has used a space as the field separator. May be you can use a different field separator that your analyzer won't eat up, so that will change the token position by 1. Gopi On 8/24/06, KEGan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Erik, What is generally the reason for indexing both individual fields

API for setting lock directory

2006-03-28 Thread Gopikrishnan Subramani
Hello, With Lucene 1.4.3 I used to use a different lock directory from the default by setting org.apache.lucene.lockdir system property. But as per http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/systemproperties.html this is not supported in Lucene 1.9 and above. I don't see any equivalent API for lockDir pro

IO bandwidth throttling

2005-08-02 Thread Gopikrishnan Subramani
Hello, Is there a way I can control the IO bandwidth utilized by Lucene? Here is my scenario. RAMDirectory is used to build a in-memory index and finally the index size approaches a limit, the contents are flushed to a FSDirectory. The index size could be approximately 512 MB. I'm a bit concerne
