Just poked around the docs for both of these. They are,
respectively, a Lucene based jdbc polling solution and a lucene based
integration framework, neh? So if I use either of these I've still got my
two parallel indexes problem. Not to mention if I use dbsight, they want
$2,999 for what looks like some jdbc polling and scheduling code most of us
could write in our sleep.
Again, my problem isn't that I have trouble working with Lucene; I
don't. It's a very easy API with which I am quite comfortable. My problem is
that I don't *like* Lucene because it creates a parallel index structure :).
So I don't think another abstraction layer over Lucene is going to help me;
what I need is a way to get Lucene entirely out of the picture.

PS Are Richard and I just weird? Doesn't it bother anybody else to
have two parallel, synchronized, data stores? It's close to a mortal sin of
application design in my book :(.
