To save any duplicated effort on your part: I've started work on the RAMDirectory alternative you suggested last week:
Great!
It would be useful if the Lucene Term class could be made to implement the "Comparable" interface
Yes, that's a good suggestion. I'll make the change.
The design rationale is currently, no thread safety, no ability to merge with other indexes etc.
If you fully implement the IndexReader API, then merging should work, i.e., you should be able to add the index to another with an IndexWriter.addIndexes().
A pure throw-away index typically used once in a single
query thread to analyse search results. To support this scenario it also offers some new methods of use in refining searches eg things like: String getMostCommonUnstemmedForm(Term t)
How can that be done in an Analyzer-independent manner?
I look forward to seeing your code.
Doug
