DbDirectory Berkeley DB JE implementation

[Oscar Picasso <os...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am currently trying to implement the DbDirectory against the  Berkeley DB
Java Edition which I find more java friendly than its JNI counterpart.

I adapted Andi Vajda code. When unit testing the modified DbOutputStream and
DbInputStream it worked fine. However while testing the use of the DbDirectory
with an IndexWriter which does batch inserts,
'org.apache.lucene.index.CompoundFileReader.openInput raise usually an
IOException after some inserts.

Versions:
- lucene version: 1.5-rc1-dev
- Berkeley JE version: 1.7.0

I came across the 'DbDirectory and compound files' thread started by Andy and
my problem sounds like the one he raised.

So my questions are:

1- Is there already someone working on this implementation? 

2- On the thread mentioned above Doug Cutting advised to wait for a new lucene
release before (re)implementing Directory subclasses.

Is the '1.5-rc1-dev' stable enough in that respect (the part that deal with
directories).

Oscar
