Lucene is probably not the solution if you are looking for a relational model. You should be using a database for that. If you want to combine Lucene with a relational model, check out Hibernate and the new EJB annotations that it supports...there is a cool little Lucene add-on that lets you declare fields to be indexed (and how) with annotations. - Mark Rajesh parab wrote: > Hi, > > As I understand, Lucene has a flat structure where you can define multiple > fields inside the document.
