Hi,

Here is one thing that's been confusing me.  
http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/OceanRealtimeSearch?highlight=(GData) often 
mentions GData and relates it to real-time search (to Ocean), as if it is GData 
that provides real-time search functionality.  But isn't GData simply a 
communication protocol (Atom with some custom additions by Google)?  If so, are 
statements like "Ocean addresses this by providing the same functionality as 
GData open sourced for use in any project" really correct?  If GData is just a 
communication protocol, and Ocean is really primarily the search engine that is 
capable of real-time search, then is it really correct to compare Ocean with 
GData?  My feeling is that the thinking is:
"When I access Google's databases using GData I can see my changes to those 
databases immediately".
But that doesn't make GData this real-time thing, but rather the backend, no?


Please enlighten me if I'm misunderstanding what GData is.  Thanks,

Otis
