Perhaps an insidious inside job then: export rather than import. Presumably it would be fairly easy to write a plugin that would be capable of writing out a Lucy file from within Lucene. This might be a fine project for a Java programmer with Lucene experience to gain familiarity with the Lucy file format. Anyone lurkers fit this description? :) In general, I do think it would be useful to be able to benchmark against Lucene. One doesn't need to have full compatibility, but the ability to go back on forth for the simple stuff seems like it would be a boon. If the Lucy format is simple enough, one could even make things fair by adding a Lucy import option to Lucene, so someone can easily see which one fits best for their needs. --nate
