How much better is it compared to CLucene? CLucene got stuck at 1.9 and now shows very little activity, while Java Lucene is rolling towards version 4. But still CLucene was as less memory hog and faster than Java Lucene at it's active time. They claim it was 2.5 times faster.
If Lucy can deliver the latest progresses in Java Lucene as a usable C library, that should be a very good news for me. Lucene still is the best choice for large data indexing and searching solutions.
- nkurz 15y agoCLucene aimed for binary compatibility with Lucene indexes, and as a result had very little room to innovate. Lucy started out with the same approach, but decided early on that it was better to take the best parts of Lucene's internals while not being bound to all of them. Some parts will be leading Lucy, and some will be catching up. There's already increasing cross-pollination between the two. It's a very loose port at this point.
