Hello, Victor.
How? :)
I need to pass Query, Document, Hit objects to methods of interface. But I have no idea how to pass them..
I'm not up-to-date on the current state of pyLucene, but generally speaking the Hits object is not usable remotely, i.e. you can't serialize/deserialize it and just expect it to work. I believe this is true for both Java Lucene and pyLucene.
The reason is that the Hits object contains only id's of matching documents and their scores, and not the full Document's, so when you call Hits.doc(i) you actually access the underlying (local) IndexReader. If you wanted to use the same instance but on remote machine, it wouldn't be able to access the local IndexReader, and it would blow.
Maybe you have alternative way of building of such interface. Can you describe in short your proposal?..
I would use some binary made-up protocol, or XML-RPC, or perhaps CORBA (if I only knew how to use this one ;) The idea would be the same in all cases - to provide remote facade (or stubs) which would call remote objects to deliver data bit by bit as requested.
