(ZipDirectory) RE: storing index in third party database.
Another interesting variation - possibly - is storing the index in a zip
file
(thus we'd have "ZipDirectory"). Then, say, the index would be in one
on-disk-file
(thus, "easier to manage") and in some applet applications the whole
thing could
easily/efficiently be loaded.
Just did a test and a on-disk index of 8658 blocks (via "du -s" ) turned
into
a zip file of 4275 blocks, thus approx 50% compression is possible.

Subject: storing index in third party database.
Hi all
I want to index the datas which I already stored in a thirdparty
database table and develop a search facility using lucene. I am thinking
of storing this indexes back to the database in another table. I know
for this we have to create a 'directory' which do all the indexing
operations,
for example
Indexwriter indwriter = new Indexwriter("dirStore",null,create);
where dirStore is the directory, create is boolean.
but I don't know the format to be followed for the
directory(dirStore).Please help me if anybody has done similar thing.
TIA
Amith

I am doing some testing on managing the underlying data in a zip archive and
found that there is about a 15ms hit to use a zip vs. grabbing directly from
file system.
This is very reasonable for me vs. having to manage moving around a 1000's +
files.
