Hi, in the past year I worked on a side project which helped me both for learning lucene and for making my life easier exploring remote indexes.
It is called leila, since it's inspired by luke, and it's available under Apache Licence on github: https://github.com/raymanrt/leila Leila is designed to query a lucene index and to extract useful information from its data structures without writing code, especially in those context where no GUI is available. I'd like to share it with the lucene community, because I feel that it could be helpful to others. I also hope that leila will improve, so please don't hesitate providing any kind of feedback, bug report, feature request or contribution. Cheers, Riccardo
