Yes I had thought about that also and wondered if it could be fast enough.Hi again Eirikur!
Getting Lucene to store its index into a Slide store should very much be
doable as webdav is a filesystem. I think the key is the
org.apache.lucene.store.Directory class. Yake a look at
org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory and if you agree i think it should be
possible to create a Directory class that writes and reads it's files from
a webdav repository.
I did an experiment where i used Novell's Netdrive to mount a Slide
repository as a drive letter in Windows. Then i configured Lucene to use
that drive as its filesystem. It worked, but not very speedy :-(
It would be more efficient to store lucene index into slide BUT implement org.apache.lucene.store.Directory via slide API (on the server side) directly and not over and HTTP connection.
(Anyway the indexer is server side.)
note: Lucene juste need (Create => Write_only => Close) and (Open => Random_Read_only => Close). and delete Lucene never "modify" the "file", but you need not to just implement org.apache.lucene.store.Directory Interface but also a org.apache.lucene.store.InputStream, org.apache.lucene.store.OutputStream, ... etc
I can find some time to work on this if someone think this is something usefull.
But all of this doesn't help for re-index... : (
