Hi all: I'm new to lucene dev. these days I'm reading the lucene source code. and now there are some difficulties for me to understand the index chain. I could not understand the complex relationship between the classes! for example: I could not understand the relations between these classes: DocFieldConsumerPerThread, DocFieldConsumerPerField, DocInvertedPerThread, DocInverterPerThread..
btw, what 's the advantage of using such a design, the so called index chain?? Is there any docs about this?? any suggestion or references are appreciated! thanks regards.
