uniqueWords, and termDocs

Hello,

I need to be able to select a random word out of all the words in my index.
how can I do this tru termDocs() ?

Also, I need to get a list of unique words as well. Is there a way to ask
this to lucene?

Best Regards,
-C.B.

Isn't asking for unique words (actually tokens) equivalent to enumerating
all the terms in a field?

I have no idea how to select a random word. Seems like you'd have to
somehow use a TermEnum, but I don't think there's anything built in.

Best
Erick
