Checkpointable Index
Hi all,
We have sandboxed file system which Lucene indexes. Periodically we dump
the file system to disk (checkpoint it); can a Lucene index be checkpointed
then restored and used? Currently we simply rebuild the index since it only
takes a few minutes. But we would like the user to be able to take a
snapshot of that file system and restore and use it without rebuilding the
index.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Rob

As long as you finish any index operations when you checkpoint it,
there should be any problems. A Lucene index is just regular ol'
filesystem files just like everything else, so there is no problem
storing it off and using it later.
