Hi, im new to Hibernate Search and are wondering if it is possible to make it store its index / tables in a database instead of on the filesystem...

Right now i have the property :
hibernate.search.default.directory_provider=org.hibernate.search.store.FSDirectoryProvider

This makes it store the data in the filesystem, I have searched for directory provider to make it store its index in the db instead but where unable to find one.

Is there any way to make this happen? If so, could someone point me to a tutorial discussing this issue?

Best Regards

Correct me if i am wrong, but there seems to be no easy way to accomplish this goal.
I have been searching around and have not yet found any solution to this problem, it just seems to be that we are just supposed to store the index on a "standard" file system.

It seems that i have to use hibernate and lucene seperatly to accomplish this goal.. an article found here:
http://kalanir.blogspot.com/2008/06/cre ... abase.html explains how create indexes with pure lucene using "JdbcDirectory".

A hibernate search implementation of this JdbcDirectory thing would be sweet, something like : "org.hibernate.search.store.JdbcDirectoryProvider" where the index is created into the db with default values maybe, or some way to configure this...

Im not sure how this would have been implemented, nor if this is a good idea... So don't flame me :)

oh yes... and by removing :
hibernate.search.default.directory_provider=org.hibernate.search.store.FSDirectoryProvider it seems to be storing the data into the db, but the index still remains in the filesystem...

Best Regards

You might want to try posting the same question in the Search forum, where people are a tad more knowledgeable on the topic. Just an idea...
