I have to create patch sets against two version of a data set in a directory tree structure, and the data set contains a lucene index. However, if the filenames are not consistent for the index, then the delta program thinks they are completely new files vs just doing an xdelta on the index data. If renaming is not possible, the delta program will have to have lucene awareness about variations in the filenames between two versions of a data set tree. I guess I will have to do this if I am going to be lectured about how to develop software. >From a design perspective, I figured if the process that builds the data sets and the lucene index can be modified to make sure the lucene index files are consistently named, the delta computation program can stay agnostic about lucene and just do a basic tree differencing algorithm. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
