Question about file format
Hi all,
I'm trying to make my own reader for lucene files, in pure python (i
haven't found a suitable library for windows x64). And while reading
docs, a question arises.
In http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_4_0/fileformats.html#String it says
that the string is composed of an VInt and a sequence of modified UTF-8
encoded chars. My question is: That VInt is the length of the string
before encoding or is the number of encoded bytes?
Regards.
