RE: what if the IndexReader crashes, after delete, before close.

Just a user and mailing list lurker - but I say go for it - I think even WebSphere is running under 1.4 these days. If people complain, tell them that since they don't see the need to upgrade their JVM, they also shouldn't need to upgrade Lucene :) Dan -Original Message- From: Erik Hat

RE: Lock handling and Lucene 1.9 / 2.0

I don't believe that Lucene is read locked for search. It is only for initializing the IndexReader's. So, if each of your JVM's create and keep an IndexReader open, each of your JVM's should be able to search on your single disk concurrently. Just don't create a new IndexReader every time yo

It would be nice if these items in the sandbox would have a pre-compiled copy sitting somewhere easy to download. Highlighting seems to be a fairly common question on these lists from beginners, and having to go to cvs, check them out, and then compile them (when many don't have ant scripts) is

Maybe you should add another page (or section on the page) that is for people to list the names of their companies or products that are using lucene (with a brief description of what for), as the current page only shows that Lucene is used for indexing web pages, or web viewable things. I know

Document scoring - should I file a bug report?

I've noticed an oddity in scoring If I do my search like this: searcher.search(query, filter, new HitCollector() { public void collect(int doc, float score) { tempHits.add(new LuceneHits(doc, score)); } }); I get different scores for the resulting doc

I'm not a voter, but as a user, I would prefer to see the lucene jar with the core classes stay as small as possible, and the analyzers be included in a second jar file in the distribution. So, 1 download separate jar files. -

I think that the only difference we have is that you see the Query Parser as a convenience for the app users, while I see it as a convenience to the app users and the app developers. Its probably a good thing to ship lucene with the query parser that doesn't allow you to do the search that mak

Can numeric support be added to the todo list? I realize that James Ricci and I are the only two that have requested it recently and maybe its an unreasonable request for lucene, due to its design and the amount of work it would take to implement it - which I'm willing to live with - but I ha

Another suggestion - Real support for indexing of numbers. Especially for filtering on them, so that it doesn't have to be implemented in the fashion of the date filter with bit set vectors and alphabetic numbers. I have no idea how difficult this is to implement, but I know I would have a use
