SOC: Lulu, a Lua implementation of Lucene
A proposal for a Lua entry for the "Google Summer of Code" '08:
lu·lu (lū'lū) n. Slang.
A remarkable person, object, or idea.
A very attractive or seductive looking woman.
A Lua implementation of Lucene.
Skimpy details bellow:

Here is a an online demo of a wiki engine implemented purely in Lua:

Looks rather, hmmm, inactive:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/lucy/
Is there any working code anywhere?

Who is that Lucy you keep talking about? :P

In other hands, a Lucy with C for persistance and parsing, and Lua for
filter and other fine configuration can be great.

Looking forward to it ;) Though it'd be nice to be more iterative
here, if possible, rather than the "big bang" approach.

I haven't been feeding back my KinoSearch commits into the Lucy
repository, true. Not much has changed status-wise since this: <http://xrl.us/bgyu6
> (Link to mail-archives.apache.org). I miss Dave :( but work
continues apace. I just figured I wouldn't bring anything up here
until I had some experimental Java bindings for you folks to play
with. Some of the stuff I'm working on with KS isn't compatible with
Lucene, and it doesn't make sense to impede progress by imposing that
constraint. Better to finish it up, present a polished version and a
coherent explanation of the design, then have Mike McCandless riff off
of it -- that worked pretty well for indexing speed improvements in
Lucene 2.3.

Lulu has nothing to do with Lucy... goes back to something at high
school or something...

That implies the Lucy actually is under development... Perhaps they

I am looking forward to a pure Lua version of Lucene. Lua looks like
a neat and amazingly compact programming language. I especially like
Lua's "table" container type which is both a list and a hash/dictionary.
One issue to watch out for is LUCENE-510, which has been an issue
with other Lucene implementations trying to match the Lucene index
format exactly:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-510
I'm working on this one but not sure when exactly it will be fixed
since it's a difficult tradeoff (loses some indexing performance)...

The plan is not to mimic Lucene's Java implementation, but rather it's
file format and query syntax:
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_3_1/fileformats.html

How fast is Lua's method dispatch, compared to Java's? That has a
huge impact on performance, since *everything* is a method in Lucene
-- down to writeByte().
There have been several attempts at pure dynamic language ports of
Lucene, including Plucene (Perl), Lupy (Python), and the original pure-
Ruby implementation of Ferret. All of those have proven unacceptably
slow. The ports which have achieved good performance, including
CLucene (C++), Lucene.NET, the latter-day Ferret (C/Ruby), and
KinoSearch (C/Perl) (and possibly others, I haven't reviewed them all)
all get close to the metal. None rely on hash-based method dispatch
for inner-loop code, and all manipulate primitive types directly.

This is a rather very narrow view of what one could do with Lua.
For example, this wiki engine is written exclusively in Lua:

Lulu is a meant to be a pure Lua implementation of Lucene.

For me, Lua is just a glue between C coded object, a super config file.

Lulu will work on top of Lucy?
Did I miss something?
