Request for suggestion/pointers

Hi,
I am new to the community and is interested in learning about Lucene
architecture and capabilities. Before diving into the code directly I am
looking for some suggestion/pointers on how to start about it. Probably
something which can give a high level overview and talk about few core
concepts in depth, that will help to grasp code easily. I have some SQL
background, and wanted to compare/understand how Lucene does search query
planning (parsing/generating AST, etc) and if there is any concept of
creating statistics about the data being indexed. Please advice.

Thanks,
Sorabh

Hi Sorabh,
               I'd recommend starting with the documentation here
 https://lucene.apache.org/core/8_5_2/index.html

This talk from Adrien Grand does a good job of explaining how Indexing and
Searching works in Lucene
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5RmMNDR5XI

Blog posts from Mike McCandless provide great insights into different areas
of lucene

*Note: *You can search through the blog posts for topics of interest but
the search box itself is not very prominent :-)

Hope this helps

-Ankur
