That is exactly what I would suggest. Sharpen looks like a great tool, since you can customize it's behaviour. In fact, the only downside is that you have to customize it's behaviour which requires a lot of upfront work. Thanks, Troy On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 11:42 AM, Prescott Nasser wrote: > >

Re: [Lucene.Net] Procedure for Commiting

I agree that it should not throw an overflow exception. That's not very helpful for debugging. The valid range of that parameter is essentially [0... Int32.MaxValue-1].. That's because it needs one extra slot in it's internal array, beyond the max size for juggling values during sort. The exceptio

Using var is wonderful and great. We'll hopefully do doing a lot of refactoring in the near future. var makes refactoring easier. I think we've committed fairly strongly to moving past 2.0 support. AFAIK the current trunk won't build under 2.0 anyhow (or am I mistaken, DIGY used HashSet in a recen

All, I'll be attending the Apache Retreat in Knockree next week (5/13-5/16). I was thinking it would be fun to arrange a Lucene.Net Hackathon for the same time frame. Even if you can't go to the event, we can hack together in a distributed fashion. ;) Hackathons are usually focused on particular
