Merge Lucene to Nutch

[Michael Ji <fj...@yahoo.com>]

As I understand, Nutch is a crawling/searching
application based on Lucene;

Just a curious question, when Lucene has a new
version/release, how to merge Lucene to Nutch? 

I didn't see an explicity Lucene Java source in Nutch
source tree. I don't think Nutch and Lucene do low
level API independently. 

Thanks,

Michael Ji

Nutch simply uses the Lucene JAR file.  Upgrading Nutch to use a new  
Lucene release would involve replacing the JAR file with the new  
version, and depending on the changes to Lucene itself it may involve  
rebuilding indexes (to ensure normalization factors and such changes  
are incorporated), but Lucene remains quite backwards compatible with  
indexes built with previous versions and reindexing likely wouldn't  
be needed.  The specifics are in the details of what versions of  
Lucene we're talking about, of course.

Nutch (distribution, "ant package") has a folder /lib/ containing lucene
jar files... As usual, specific versions of library files were tested
for production use, any upgrade in libs is not recommended...
