I'm running a 200.000-document-Search Engine (plus Spider) on Webware. All the documents are MiddleKit objects, the backend is MySQL, and I think the full-text index that MySQL 4.0 supplies is not good enough. So I am taking on using Lupy, a Python port of Jakarta Lucene, a full-text index package.
I googled and searched the Wiki and the archive of this mailing list without finding any references. So before starting, I'd like some of your thoughts on: * Has anybody attempted this before? * Has anybody attempted (and succeeded) in integrating other full-text indexing packages into Webware? * Does anybody have bad / good / valuable experiences using Lupy? And how about the full-text index in MySQL 4.1 or 5.0? * Does anybody have estimates / educated guesses on what the performance of Lupy fulltext index compared to MySQL might be while searching? * My first thought would be to achieve the integration by building a "Lupy-enabeled" subclass of the MiddleKit.Run.ObjectStore class. Based on setings in the object model, some attributes of some objects would then be full-text-indexed in a certain way by lupy whenever the attributes changed. To use the index, a new method similar to store.fetchObjectsOfClass would be added. Third, a command-line migration tool (to add a fulltext index to an existing ObjectStore or re-build an index) would be needed. * Is there enough interest so that I should make this available once I get it to run?
