dear lucene community, i am playing around with lucene right now. and have come to very bad problem.
given environment: a signal source gives signals with eventids ans eventdescriptions for example EVENTID=1 and EVENTDESCRIPTION="STARTING EVENT" those events can be running very long (e.g. one month) during this period we will receive for example EVENTID=1 and EVENTDESCRIPTION="EXECUTING XYZ" 10 minutes later EVENTID=1 and EVENTDESCRIPTION="EXECUTING YZA" 10 minutes later EVENTID=1 and EVENTDESCRIPTION="PASSED MILESTONE1" 10 minutes later EVENTID=1 and EVENTDESCRIPTION="EXECUTING ZAB" after e.g. 1 week we receive EVENTID=1 and EVENTDESCRIPTION="STOPING EVENT" what i want: i want to be able to search e.g. which eventids are connected to "XYZ" AND "ZAB" AND have already passed "MILESTONE1" so my current try is to index all events by full indexing (without storing) eventdescriptions AND stemming e.g. EXECUTING then searching for "+XYZ +ZAB +MILESTONE1" --> result no document since those are all seperated documents when i search "XYZ ZAB MILESTONE1" i am getting 3 times EVENTID 3 --> this is bad since when i get 1000000 of such events how do i rank them? CONCLUSION: my biggest problem is that my lucene document given to the index currently is not in a final state BUT i have to index and search it also while it is in progress. as a result of this the ranking as i do it now has no real value since the ranking is just based on a "line of a whole event" QUESTION: is there a solution within lucene to combine search results? e.g. merge them OR is there a better workaround how i would do such updates to the index without storing the original docmuent inside the index (since this consumes so many space)? e.g. extracting the keywords that were stored for the item? any hints appreciated. regards chris ---------- Christian Brennsteiner Salzburg / Austria / Europe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
