Which leads me to my next question - Chris, in your 2 layer approach how do you handle indexing? If you have a fairly sizable chunk of YAML/XML/etc data, how do you handle searching it?
Well, I haven't had to. I've been working in content and event management, and using tags to give objects searchable properties when they fall outside of indexed fields. It's amazing what you can fudge with semantic categorization, but it's definitely a fudge. You can't SUM() tags. In fact, SUM() might be a great example of the problem here. I can see how Lucene would quickly return all the orders with quantity:2, but what kind of crunching is involved in finding the total quantity across all orders? -- Chris Snyder http://chxo.com/ _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
