Re: [hibernate-dev] Hibernate Search and Bobo Browse
Hi,
sounds interesting. I think I came across bobo-browse when investigating
possible solutions
for faceting implementations.
If you are just after the underlying Lucene resources, like the
IndexReader, you can get hold
of it via SearchFactory.getReaderProvider(). In order to open the reader
you will have to pass
a DirectoryProvider (also accessible via the SearchFactory). Have a look
in the online documentation.
Of course this is all quite low level and a better integration would
probably make use of some of
the meta data provided by the framework.
I guess in the end you would like to configure the facets in the
FullTextQuery.
It would probably also be good if the integration would be optional so
that you only need to add additional
libraries if you want to use bobo browse.
We can help you some more, if you explain in more detail how you think
this should work and what you
need from the HSearch side.

Hi,
I would like to suggest an integration of Hibernate Search with Bobo
Browse
(http://code.google.com/p/bobo-browse/). Bobo Browse is the open source
faceting engine developed by LinkedIn and AFAIC it's amazing. Even though
the documentation is sparse, the results are easy to achieve, flexible
and
extremely fast.
It has one caveat, it relies on another open source project: Zoie to
achieve
real time updated index/search results as by default it just opens an
IndexReader and is oblivious to changes in the underlying index until
reopened.
I've been looking at a way to have Hibernate Search manage the
interaction
with the Index in order for Bobo to have updated results as the
underlying
index changes (just like Zoie does). But frankly, I'm not too good at
this
lower level stuff.
Anyway, would love to see this integration happen or some pointers on
good
ways how to achieve this.
Cheers,
Marc
