Hi, I’m currently working on project which has the following scenario:
1. I have entities in DB on which I would like to prevent duplicates by same name or near match, for example, SalesOrder or SlsOrd or SalesOrd etc…are all considered same. For this, I would like to use fuzzy search and return only entities depending on a matching criterion (say, return entities with match >=60%). 2. How do I approach this use case? Should I create one index (IndexWriter with RAMDirectory?) for the entire application and keep updating the index (in the background as a separate micro service) and whenever, a new entity is created or updated or removed (I need real time updates, can’t wait for bulk updates on index) update the index as well? 3. I can then use the index created above as lookup when a user tries to create a new entity and generate error or warning message. If the 2nd point above is fine, then is there any general guideline or example that I can follow for creating a global index for the application? Also, is there any guideline for using Lucene with Database. Appreciate your help!!! Thank you and Regards, Santosh
