Many thanks Andi. I know I am going to have some intesting challenges
ahead at some point. I think more in line with threading and app
packaging with the java bits for cross platform. For now I am happy to
be having it working and trying out a number of things. It it an
interesting piece of software for sure :-)
Regards,
David

Hi Andi. Many thanks for your reply. The pydocs question I believe is
relevant. Has anyone assembled this type of documentation anywhere for
pylucene?
Sorry, I missed that one. I saw the ones about schema and sorting and
thought '[email protected]'.
To answer your queetion about pydocs, no, there is no pydocs for
PyLucene. The README file
(http://svn.osafoundation.org/pylucene/trunk/README) contains the API
documentation for PyLucene-specific pythonic API additions and changes.
For APIs that did not change, please refer to the Java Lucene javadocs.
(http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/api/index.html)
I'll post the other questions to the lists as you suggest. I am just
beginning with pylucene so I may bring forward some relevant python
questions once I experimented a bit more. I am currently working
through examples and reading what I can find about lucene online.
Definitely feel free to ask questions. I was referring you to the
[email protected] mailing list because there are a lot more
Lucene experts hanging out there. If there is anything I or others
reading pylucene-dev can answer, we sure will.
Andi..

David

Hi there. I have been working with semantic web type application for
a while and it appears to me pylucene could help me to get a much
needed speed boost. I have a couple of question to start.
My schema is fairly involved and has more than 100 elements. It
would be great to perform a search on any of these but how practical
is that?
Should I be creating a summary type search using a smaller index of
say 10 - 12 fields and then have detailed search based on a larger
broader number of fields in a different index. Any recommendations
would be helpful. There is no doubt I will have to create a query
parser for my app.
Second questions is how can I get pydocs so I am aware of what
functionality exists and also syntax. I see examples in the samples
folder but some description of classes and methods is important. Is
this available somewhere?
My last initial question has to do with sorting. I see that there
are advanced possibilities with the indexes to sort and filter. How
advisable is using sort for large record sets. For example, say you
have got 20000 records returned from your search. Because this will
have a web interface I will only be showing first 20 likely so it
will be batching results. Is the sorting filtering highly memory
intensive?
These are all good questions best asked of the
[email protected] mailing list. PyLucene is a compilation
of Java Lucene integrated with Python via SWIG. The pylucene-dev
mailing list can help you with python-specific Lucene questions and
bugs. For help about Lucene in general, please refer to these sources:
- [email protected]
don't let the 'java' in the name of that list put you off, none
of your
questions are java or python specific.
- [email protected]
for help in extending or adapting Java Lucene.
- the book 'Lucene in Action' written by Erik Hatcher and Otis
Gospodnetic,
two of the Java Lucene developers. Most samples in this book were
ported
to PyLucene and are in its 'samples/LuceneInAction' directory.
