Xapian devel - Apr 2009 - does xapian have these disadvantages?

hi! alls

 

i have read an article about comments on Lucene.

http://www.jroller.com/melix/entry/why_lucene_isn_t_that

 

i have more understanding about Lucene through this article,especially its
disadvantage or limitation.

 

then i would like to question that are there similar disadvantages to xapian?

 

any advice would be appreciated.

 

baijl

Hi. Please don't crosspost to both xapian-discuss and xapian-devel - pick
the one which is appropriate for your message.  In this case, that's
xapian-discuss.

That's too broad a question for me to answer, really.  Many of the
criticisms of Lucene are either specific to implementations in Java, or to
Lucene.  Xapian certainly supports transparent searching across multiple
collections, though.

I suggest looking through Xapian code and documentation, and/or asking some
specific questions about how Xapian handles specific requirements.

Baijl,

Please do not bring Lucene problems and issues into Xapian discussion,
we are not here to solve their issues, but rather post your concerns
into Lucene mailing list. Based on my own opinion Lucene is the worst
search engine I had opportunity to work with, even Microsoft SQL
Server 2005 beats Lucene performance and quality of searches.
