[Xapian-discuss] Incremental indexing

[Marios Titas]

Hi all,

I am trying to implement an Incremental indexing scheme. The problem
is that usually the modified documents are large but the modifications
are limited. Ideally, I would like to reindex only the modified parts
of these documents. If I am not mistaken, xapian cannot do that. Are
there any other approaches?

It would be nice if xapian supported something like the SQL "group
by". If it did, then it would be possible to break large documents
into several pieces which could be indexed independently. When
querying, these pieces would be then combined again using some
aggregate function similar to the SQL function sum.

Thanks
