Hi all,
I am seeking for some guidelines to directly convert an already
existing index to Lucene index.
The index available to me is of a set of <value1,value2> pairs. Where
each pair is :
< word , fileName >
i.e a word as a 'value1', and the 'value2' being the fileName
containing that word.
A word might appear in several fileNames as well a same file can
contain multiple copies of a word. For eg, following index is possible:
< "my" , "file1" >
< "you" , "file2" >
< "my", "file2" >
< "my", "file1">
My actual problem is that the index available to me is very large in
size, hence I am bit reluctant to create 'Document' object for each
file because for that I will have to read through all the pairs first
and store them in memory. Or I will have to 'update' the 'Document'
object of a particular file while iterating through the Pairs of my
index, this 'update', again, is a costly operation.
Please correct me if my understanding of Lucene is wrong or other
alternative ways.
Regards
Lokendra
