Hi, We are using Lucene indirectly via ElasticSearch. We would like to use RE2 syntax for running regex queries against Lucene. We are already using RE2 syntax for other parts of our system, so not ability to use the same syntax is a deal-breaker for us.
Recently Google has released a pure Java implementation of this library on GitHub. Will it be possible to actually use RE2/J library to run regex queries in Lucene? I understand that it might require customizing Lucene source code. Can you give me any idea how complex and time consuming such endeavor might be. RE2 Syntax: https://re2.googlecode.com/hg/doc/syntax.html RE2/J :https://github.com/google/re2j Thanks.
