Build an index which allows me to broswe by category.

         Key: LUCENE-477
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-477
     Project: Lucene - Java
        Type: Task
  Components: Index  
    Versions: 1.4    
 Environment: JDK 1.4, Windows 2003, Tomcat 5.0.28
    Reporter: Mark Dos Santos


Hello there,

I have a collection of documents that I am using lucene to build an index for, 
and then I have a jsp app to search my documents. This all works great. I 
believe lucene is such an amazing product, but thats a whole other topic. 
Anyway, maybe it's my lack of experience in building indexes, but I am have 
trouble coming up with an index that kind of mimics verity's parametric index.  
You see my documents all have a category path (I have over 50,000 docs).  A 
document can be at any level of the category path, and that same path can have 
many different documents. IE. Document x, has a category path USA//New 
Jersey//Trenton//09890 and Document y has a category path USA//New 
Jersey//Trenton//09890.  

Basically, I would like to build an index using lucene, where when I search, if 
my results were to bring back those two documents, I would like to retrieve the 
distinct category path for those two documents.  Of course I can loop through 
and build a vector with only the unique paths that come in the search results, 
but that obviously would take to long when I get lets say 10000 results from my 
search.

So the question I guess is, how can I build an index that would facilitate this 
functionality for me.  If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate 
it.

Thanks,
Mark
