[Xapian-discuss] Using xapian for general indexed storage

[Jean-Francois Dockes]

Hello,

Two questions about using Xapian as a gdbm stand-in for an auxiliary
database:

 - I am currently using single-term documents having the key as a single
   term, and the (small) associated data chunk stored in the document data
   record. Is this still the right way to do it?

 - There was an answer on the mailing list two years ago, saying that
   storing a few megabytes in the document data records was ok. Does
   this still hold, or would it be preferable to use file-system storage ?
   There is no question of peeking inside the data, it's opaque.
