: I'd play with having the base indexed download, and with deltas sent : down as compressed plain-text files. Client/IDE side can then : uncompress + process + delete + add + be happy.
if you really needed the indexing to be done centrally, you could just ship any new segments each time the index is modified, along with the current segments file and have a little utility on the clients thta deletes any segments no longer in use .. but eventually you are going to want to optimize the index, and then you'll have to ship the whole thing out to everybody again. I'm with Otis ... shipping "data files" with instructions for adding/removing documents represented as strings and letting code on the client build the index is probably going to be the most efficient way ot get the data out to all of your clients. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jason van Zyl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-dev@lucene.apache.org Sent: Saturday, September 23, 2006 10:43:00 AM Subject: Lucene indices for Archiva (The Maven Repository Manager) Hi, We have happily been using Lucene in Archiva and we're ready to use Lucene in a more advanced for efficiency. Currently we create a number of indices for all the information in the Maven repository and we are placing everything into one Lucene index. Right now the index is 180mb uncompressed and ~20mb when compressed. We would like to create a base index and then provide index updates on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis so that people don't have to drag down the whole index down again and again. The primary target for this index is IDE integration which uses Maven repository information to guide users in selecting dependencies. Has anyone implemented something like this? Any guidelines or tips we should follow?
