Hi, Lucene is storing it's data pretty much flat. You have Documents representing a seach result. This Documents are created during the indexing process you have to implement. For XML data I would recommend to store the Xpath of the indexed data in a field in the lucene documents in order to get the nodes addessed again in the XML tree.

Either I'm going to implement a Radix/PATRICIA-tree or I'm opting for Lucene. I thought about adding a node <=> Field mapping , that would probably be sufficient as we do not need a tree-structure in order to support revisioning strategies (full dump, incremental, differential). However, I guess Lucene uses some kind of tree-structure itself though perhaps it would be more appropriate to map these nodes to our "nodes". Any suggestions? kind regards, Johannes [1] https://github.com/JohannesLichtenberger/sirix --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
