Karl,

You could have a document in the index with fields whose names are unique in 
the index, e.g.

Document doc = new Document()
doc.Add(new Field("index_info","infokey", Field.Store.NO, 
Field.Index.UN_TOKENIZED));
doc.Add(new Field("index_generator",generator_comment, Field.Store.YES, 
Field.Index.NO));
indexWriter.AddDocument(doc);

To find the information, search for index_info:infokey and load the field 
index_generator.

Subject: Lucene index meta-information

Are there any spaces for writing custom header type information into a 
lucene index?  I'd like to be able to say something like "this index was 
generated with version 3.20.12b of the index generation program with the 
following command line ...".

Karl
