Hi all,

I am working on a UIMA based Corpus Server over at OpenNLP which is using
Lucas to index its content.

I did run in an issue, with the way the IndexWriter in Lucas is created, the Lucene Index Writer constructor takes a flag which indicates that an index should be created.
If this flag is set, an existing index will also be overwritten.

In my case I need to do both, when a corpus gets created, an index for it must be created, and if the server is restarted, the index must be opened and appended, and not overwritten.

I suggest that we add a parameter for this into the already existing properties file.

Is it ok, to check in this change before we do the addons release?

Jörn
