[pylucene-dev] pylucene and recommendations for RAM

[David Pratt]

Hi Andy. I am likely going to give this a try if there is some 
possibility for it to work out. I have a basic pb client and server I 
have built before so coming up with something to try should not be too 
bad. I was reading that there was some capability in lucene to merge the 
results. I assumed this to be hits objects but perhaps I was wrong. Does 
a capability to merge results exist in pyLucene (that may be available 
to use)?

What I meant to say below was that the portion of the index could be 
rebuilt using the database but you would loose results from that portion 
of the index until it was rebuilt (unless you had it replicated 
somewhere). I work with zope so I will likely keep the index used as a 
property or annotation of the object being indexed.

>> keep track. A replication strategy could use the db to rebuild index 
>> in case a machine goes down (or you would temporarily loose results 
>> from all servers until the index was rebuilt).

Regards
David
