Delta's are stored in their protobuf serialized form. Remember though that a delta only contains a piece of a wavelet. Many times only a few characters. In order for Lucene to properly index a wave, a complete textual representation needs to be produced. This representation would then be handed (via API) to Lucene for indexing. Any time the wave changes, it would have to be re-indexed. -Tad
