Hello everybody, I'd like to report that the project I've been working on can now be used in testing, there is a working implementation of the HBaseDirectory that stores the index files and can perform the common operations in Lucene. I am now working in using the Lucene testing into the the project to be sure it will pass the tests from the core project. Also, the way of approach of storing all of the index files is not efficient, so another approach is warranted, one in which part of the index is stored in multiple segments files not to read all of the segments in one big chunk as Lucene does now, this will allow for truly distributed searching.
You can run the tests for searching into text files, if you have them in your home directory, with 'maven -Dtest=org.apache.james.mailbox.lucene. hbase.HBaseMiniClusterTesting.java#insertSegmentsIntoColumns test'. Have a nice weekend, Mihai
