Thanks for the reply...yes i am trying to create an Image Search. And I did
create something similar to your
suggestion on only storing the links. But due to some limitations being set
on me...I have to find a way to
store the image..
Maybe I could try the transform idea.

Hi,
Lucene supports string/int literals for indexing and searching. In other
words, anything that can be transformed into a string/int can be consumed by
the lucene api. Moreover, so are you trying to implement an image search? In
that case perhaps you'd have to either figure out a transform else try
something else.
If it is mere storage of an image in lucene (for a particular doc, to be
fetched) you may as well do what is done by other similar engines behind the
scenes e.g. for blob objects. Just store a path/link to the actual image
instead of image in the index and fetch it at runtime (in the wrapper code).

Hi,
Yes you can, create a binary field which you can use to store the image
in.
Field(String name, Reader reader) Use this to store your image and use
binaryValue() to get the image back.
You can also look at storing the features of the image into the index in
similar way.
--Thanks and Regards

I found a solution already.
That is to convert the image from byte array of the image >> string
Then the string will be stored in the index. But beware, the byte will have
to be encoded to Base64
or the image retrieved will be mess up(meaning the pic is totally ruin)
