Hi, I was rambling to some friends about an idea to build a cache-aware JDBC driver wrapper, to make it easier to keep a lucene index of a database up to date.
They asked me a question that I have to take seriously, which is that most RDBMSes provide some built-in fulltext searching - postgres, mysql, even oracle - why not use that instead of adding another layer of caching? I have to take this question seriously, especially since it reminds me a lot of what Doug has often said to folks contemplating doing similar things (caching query results, etc) with Lucene. Has anybody done some serious investigation into this, and could summarize the pros and cons? -- Steven J.
