Ferret talk - Oct 2005 - index compatibility

Hi,

first of all: great work!

I''d like to know which Lucene Version Ferret is based on, in other
words: will I be able to read/write indexes created with current lucene
trunk ?

Thanks in advance,
Jens

Hi Jens,
Terribly sorry about the late reply. It appears that being the owner
of a mailman mailing list doesn''t automatically subscribe you to the
list. I should reply a lot more promptly in future. ;-)

If you get the latest gem, ie 0.1.4, then yes, you should be able to
read indexes created from Lucene trunk. The one problem you may have
is analyzer incompatibility. If you used the Java SimpleAnalyzer then
you should have no problems using Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer, but if
you used the Standard Analyzer there will be some incompatibilities.
I''ve put it on my todo list to create some analyzers that match the
java ones.
