Hi, i have been using Lucene & MySQL but separately, MySQL is written in C/C++ with a JDBC driver available and Lucene is coded in Java, so (besides the mysql team opinion) you can mix searches throught both apis and referring to each other with the PrimaryKey.
This combination works fine for some scenarios but it doesnt for others, in some cases the best choice is to use the FullText feature available in MySQL which employs the same Vectorial Model that Lucene's do.
One advantage of Lucene is that is composed of layers and you can modify it to use different models instead of uniquely the Vectorial; on the other hand Lucene doesnt support concurrency which can be a serious problem in your application or maybe not.
Hope my 5 cents works to you :)

Is it possible to use the Lucene fulltext search on a MYSQL database - say for text type fields?
