I finished with the Lucene indexing of the Gazateers, just need to get them
tied into the gaz lookups, which is fairly simple. Do you all think I
should disregard all the MySQL dependency and just have Lucene? The lucene
index files are only about 2.5 gigs total, so very manageable to distribute
the files across a cluster. I could keep the MySQL classes as an option,
but at this point the Lucene based approach is really growing on me.
If I don't here from anyone I am going to remove the MySQL implementation.
+1 I believe a Lucene based solution is easier to handle for most
people, because it can
be fully integrated via API (no need to install anything) and therefor
hides most of
the complexity.
Please avoid adding a dependincy for lucene to the opennlp-tools
project, I suggest that we
add this code to the sandbox, or a new addon area. If people want to use
a Lucene based dictionary
they can depend on that module explicitly.
