This should be simple. Mostly we just need is an RMI implementation of Searchable. The remote implementation can use IndexSearcher or MultiSearcher. Also Filter (and perhaps HitCollector, but see below) must be made to implement java.io.Serializable. I think that's all. To do remote searching, a local MultiSearcher can then be constructed with pointers to remote Searchable instances. Note that the HitCollector API will not work well remotely, since callbacks per hit would be very expensive. Thus the remote implementation of search(Query,Filter,HitCollector) could just throw an exception, and it could be documented that remote searching only works when using the Searcher.search(Query) and Searcher.search(Query,Filter). Or we could just make it work, albeit *very* slowly. Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
