Hi Greg,
I don't know which documentation of the Lucene FileFormat you are
looking at but you can see UInt32 (Int) UInt64 (Long) and VInt defined
here:
http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/fileformats.html
That's where I was looking. Nowhere does it say that Int -> UInt32
and Long -> UInt64. I had guessed from the names that they were
signed, and that Long was 32 bits. I'm glad to be wrong.
Are you at liberty to tell us what you are working on?
I'm rewriting the kernel for the Captaris Alchemy product line.
We use Lucene as the document store and index, but have found some
problems that get in the way of fast bulk operations. The worst
problem is that the Field constructors insist that the entire
contents of a binary field be copied into a byte[], and don't
allow such fields to be indexed. This assumption that entire
fields must fit into RAM seems to be wired pretty deep into
Lucene. Similarly, we want to use Windows kernel-mode file
transfer to retrieve documents directly from the file system to
the wire, and not have to read them into user-mode memory first.
So we need to be able to traverse the Lucene data structures
ourselves.
You may also
like to take a look at Ferret:
http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac
Up to version 0.9.6 it follows the Lucene file format quite closely
apart from the fact that Ferret can't handly modified UTF-8. Also,
it's in C, not C++.
I'll look, thanks.
Cheers,
Dave
