Hi All, <br>I'm Billy, a senior undergraduate student in Peking University. I'm working in the area of Information Retrieval and Web Mining. When going through the idea list, I felt quite interested in the "Backend for Lucene format indexes" project. I have been using java-lucene for about one year, but my subsequent work prefers C++ codes. This project is very meaningful to smooth the transition. <br>
As far as I know, the operation of index file, e.g. IndexReader, has changed quite some (<a href="http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_5_0/fileformats.html#Index%20File%20Formats">Lucene3.5 File Format</a>) , while the idea page itself still linked to an old <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_0_3/fileformats.html">3.0 version</a>. Since it doesn't seem a simple work to cope with all the versions, shall we just implement to support the old 3.0 format, or a more stable version? <br>
Thank you!<br><br>-- <br>Han Jiang<br> <br>EECS, Peking University, China<br>Every Effort Creates Smile<br> <br>Senior Student<br><br>
