IndexWriter

Summary: IndexWriter
Product: Lucene
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: Enhancement
Priority: Other
Component: Index
AssignedTo: lucene-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: stng@theculprit.com


While the input sources are abstracted, the indices are always files in the
FileSystem. It would be nice to abstract the IndexWriter to output to other
data stores.

For example, I would like to trying to use Lucene to index and search a set of
short-lived documents while involved in a P2P environment. Ideally, this
index (which would be single merge for each peer) can reside in memory rather
than in the file system (for reasons of security as much as anything else --
I'd prefer not to require permission to write out to the user's filesystem).

I think it'd be a nice addition to Lucene. It would make the Lucene engine
more easily embedded into other apps.
