You could always purchase the PDF from www.manning.com. This book is essential in my view. Its also one of the clearest most engaging IT books I've ever read. - Original Message From: digby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, 6 June, 2006 11:55:26 AM Subje

Hi everyone, just wondered if I could get peoples opinions on a design issue. I am designing a system that uses broker / search server pattern. Each search server will be responsible for searching a particular application that will consist of multiple indexes. Initially, these "servers" will r

Has anyone used this as a delivery mechanism for Lucene query results? A quick search on Google reveals a Lucene Web Service project on SourceForge, but what i want to know is whether people on the list know of any big drawbacks, specifically, how well could I expect this to perform, as compared

i think thats meant to be "partition" which would definitely make sense in the context of using a multisearcher to search logical domain-specific partitions within an app. - Original Message From: Erik Hatcher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Thursday, 18 May,

I'm working on designing this kind of meta configuration on top of some Lucene indexes right now. The company I work for has several different "products" which have to be indexed and searched, each with their own field list. Sometimes products will map to many individual Lucene indexes. The s

2006-05-14 Thread Marc Dauncey
Thank you for all your thoughts on this - I think we will go the route of having two copies for each index, a working copy and the one the searchers use. If we start off indexing like this it shouldn't be too hard to keep them in sync. Thanks again, Marc - Original Message From: Chr

Re: IndexUpdateListener

2006-05-14 Thread Marc Dauncey
I'm planning to write a listener which will recieve messages from our indexing application via SOAP - the message will indicate which indexes have been updated as we will be using quite a few separate lucene indexes. No point dropping all the searchers (and any caches, filters etc) if only one

2006-05-12 Thread Marc Dauncey
Hi everyone, Just wanted to get peoples views on an indexing issue. I gather a lot of people have apps where indexing writes to the same index as is used by the searcher. The thing that bothers me about this is if indexing is interrupted (file system crash, out of disk space etc) the index be

Re: Can lucene do this?

2006-05-12 Thread Marc Dauncey
This is true, but you'd need to optimise if you want additions to show up - also means getting a new IndexSearcher each time which is not workable for some Lucene applications (esp if you've pre-built filters and caches). I think the suggestion to use the new memory class is a good one. -
