Hi All,
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.
As far as I know, the operation of index file, e.g. IndexReader, has
changed quite some (Lucene3.5 File
Format<http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_5_0/fileformats.html#Index%20File%20Formats>)
, while the idea page itself still linked to an old 3.0
version<http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_0_3/fileformats.html>.
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?
Thank you!
