Thanks for the help. Following-up on that, how can I create document that is not indexed and returned by "normal" searches, and retrieve it when I need access to my metadata? There seems to be no reliable "document id" that I can use for this.

Regards,
Jochen

There is also commit user data (a String-Map). When you commit the index
writer you can attach that metadata. It's readable by IndexReader.

Subject: Re: Adding metadata to Lucene indexes?

You could add a dedicated document to the index storing whatever you want.
There is no requirement for lucene docs to bear any relation to each
other.

Hi,

is it possible to add metadata to a Lucene index (not to the
indivudual Fields or Documents contained in the index). We need to
periodically update an index by importing an XML document, and are
looking for a nice cozy place to store an import date and a checksum
that tells us if our input has changed.

Regards,
Jochen
