Another interesting variation - possibly - is storing the index in a zip file (thus we'd have "ZipDirectory"). Then, say, the index would be in one on-disk-file (thus, "easier to manage") and in some applet applications the whole thing could easily/efficiently be loaded.
Just did a test and a on-disk index of 8658 blocks (via "du -s" ) turned into a zip file of 4275 blocks, thus approx 50% compression is possible. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 10:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: storing index in third party database. Hi all I want to index the datas which I already stored in a thirdparty database table and develop a search facility using lucene. I am thinking of storing this indexes back to the database in another table. I know for this we have to create a 'directory' which do all the indexing operations, for example Indexwriter indwriter = new Indexwriter("dirStore",null,create); where dirStore is the directory, create is boolean. but I don't know the format to be followed for the directory(dirStore).Please help me if anybody has done similar thing.
