Thanks Mike, So in essence I need to write a new RequestHandler plugin which takes the query string, tokenises it then perform a some kind of action against the index to return results which I should then be able to get the termVectors from?
Search results in a request handler consist of a sorted list of integer lucene doc ids. You'll have to query the lucene api for the term vectors corresponding to those doc ids.
Would not the termVectors already be available from the normal search and we'd just be asking for the term vectors from that?
No, term vectors are stored separately from the inverted index and are not used in search.
Any advice for a perl/python programmer who is trying to baddly hack this in Java?
Unforunately, not really. It's probably worth stepping back to learn the basics of the lucene/solr apis before trying to accomplish your specific goal.
