Typically, the index is stored in a set of files that Lucene creates in a directory of 
your choice. If your system uses multiple independent indices, simply create an 
separate directory for each index.

Lucene's API also provide a way to use or implement other storage methods such as a 
nonresistance in-memory storage, or a mapping of Lucene data to any third party 
database.
