Greets,
There does not seem to be a lot of demand for one implementation of
Lucene to read indexes generated by another implementation of Lucene
for the purposes of indexing or searching. However, there is a
demand for index browsing via Luke.
It occurred to me today that if Luke were powered by a version of
Lucene with my bytecount-based-strings patch applied, it would be
able to read indexes generated by Ferret. Ironically, it wouldn't be
able to read KinoSearch indexes unless I reverted the change which
causes the term vectors to be stored in the .fdt file. I'd probably
do that. Luke is great.
One possibility for distributing such a beast is to offer a patched
jar for download from my website. Before I start down that road,
though, I thought I'd bring up the subject here.
Thoughts?
