Hi all, this is message is not about a development topic, but it is meant for developers, so I hope you don't feel too upset.
I am writing here because I am evaluating the option of hiring a Lucene expert for a couple of days to come to us and investigate with us the option to improve our Lucene usage. At the moment we are using Lucene (mainly) internally to keep indexed a DB of about 5 millions documents, with 50.000 new documents entering every day (along the 24 hours) and about the same amount of documents deleted daily (the delete procedure is under our control and we run it mainly by night). The size of the index is about 50Gb, and no field (except for the Primary key) is stored into the index. The availability of the Lucene index is getting more and more important daily, but we have many more things to develop, and we are not able to get the required competences fast enough. For this reason we thought that a few days of mentor ship by some expert Lucene developer could help us in improving efficiently our current situation. Our office is locate in Bagnacavallo - Italy (http://corporate.extrapola.com/aboutus/where/research/en?set_language=en&cl=en). We don't have an exact time frame, but as we are close to the sea, this season could offer an excellent opportunity to have a few days of work and a few more days of rest on the beach. ;-) So the final question is: is there any expert Lucene developer interested in coming to work to Italy for a few days? If anybody is interested, please reply to me privately. Thanks for your attention. Regards, Giulio Cesare Solaroli PS: to get an overview of what my company does, you could have a look at our site (http://www.extrapola.com), but be aware that the english translation is still in progress, so you will find many "in progress" pages. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
