GSoC - Refactoring IndexWriter

["Achmetow (Google)" <ac...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

I am a student from Germany and would like to contribute to the ASF Lucene project. 

In the ideas list I have found the following interesting project: Refactoring IndexWriter 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2026) 

Now I have some questions to this project: 

1. Exist unit tests for this code (IndexWriter.java)? 
2. Where I can find the code/software btw. component? (svn, git etc.)
3. Which IDE I can use for this project? Your Suggestions (Eclipse)? 
4. What's about coding style guides in the ASF?



Thanks and Greetings

Tim

Yeah we have multiple test for IndexWriter (IW in short) the are all
basically in /lucene/core/src/test/org/apache/lucene/index

there is a bunch of them but those are only the test that test the IW
directly. Lots of other tests are involved. Whatever you do you should
run all core tests. The one with NRT and Threads in the name are the
most evil :)

here is a good guideline for getting started
http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/HowToContribute

I use Eclipse, but you can use the tool you like / know
> 4. What's about coding style guides in the ASF?

We have a code style in lucene which basically follows the sun
guidelines. I think there are templates for eclipse and intellij on
the contribution wiki.

hope that gets you started!
