Luke looks pretty slick. Was wondering how difficult would it be to add code to add fields, update fields, etc.. I have written something similar to Luke but next month I need to add support to update fields, remove, add, etc.. graphically.
Not that difficult - assuming Lucene supports it. From your list of requirements, I think most of these functions are rather difficult to implement in the logic part due to limitations in Lucene - at least not efficiently. You cannot add a field per se, only add a document which contains additional fields. Similarly, you cannot update a field, you can only delete a document, and insert a new one with different values. Also, I don't think it's feasible to delete fields in the index - this would mean re-adding _all_ documents with one field less...
Apart from that, there's no rocket science here, it's just a matter of adding some GUI and logic. Thinlet-based applications are easy to modify in the View layer, so it's up to the Controller part, if it can be coded at all...
