I think Doug's paper ( specifically the Seek and Transfer section ) is the closest I could get. A little bit detailed explanation can be found in Yates' book on Information-Retreival. I agree with Dimitry, a detailed explanation (or even pointers to some existing arcticle would be beneficial to all of us).

I talked about this a bit in a presentation at Haifa last year:

See the section on "Seek versus Transfer".

Ideally, I'd love to see an article explaining both in detail: the index

Subject: Data structure of a Lucene Index



It seems to me that lucene doesn't use B-tree for its indexing storage.
Any paper/article which explains the theory behind data-structure of single index(segment). I am not referring to the merge algorithm, I am
curious to know the storage structure of a single optimized lucene index.

Any pointer is greatly appreciated.
