Well, I'm just wondering, in specific terms, if we use an object-based storage system as an assetstore rather than a filesystem, where the files that Lucene indexes actually sit.
It's my understanding that in a filesystem-based assetstore, for example, text is extracted from PDFs and stored in a separate file *within the assetstore directory* that Lucene crawls. I just don't know how that sort of thing is handled when using object-based storage.
