I've been lurking here as a watcher for a while, but this is my first post - make this an official "hi!"
We use Lucene at work on a HA system across 2 machines with multiple JVMs accessing the same NFS-mounted index directory. We overcame the NFS locking deficiencies in Lucene by wrapping the Lucene API calls in a home-grown database locking mechanism. I have since hooked up to the CVS tree for the 1.5 candidate and have built in to the codebase a pluggable Lock Override framework allowing a user to build their own locking mechanism (if you don't, it defaults to the current filesystem Lock). This framework seems like it would be beneficial to the larger community. What is the best way for me to get the changes incorporated in to the next release? I slightly modified: org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory and added one new small class: org.apache.lucene.store.LockFactory Additional tweaks would be advised around my changes, but I think they would be minor. Please advise on proper submission protocol. Is it Bugzilla, to this list, or other?
