Hi, I suggest you use the Search Forum - https://forum.hibernate.org/viewforum.php?f=9 - for this type of usage questions. This mailing list is for development related discussions. --Hardy P.S. Filtering might be a solution to your problem. On Fri, 19 Nov 2010 06:42:59 +0100, Suganya <psuganya.mdu(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:

Hi, yeah gone thorough that. in that example, we need to define the no.of.shards and the directory provider for the shards at configuration. but in my application, i need to shard the client specific data. so my need is to configure those settings at the run time based on the client id. is it possible to do so.. Hardy, I am new to this hibernate search and what i understood from filter is, filter will apply restrictions on matching elements returned by query.. for eg : in my application when i apply filter for clientid, lucene will fetch all the documents and then apply the filter criteria of client id and return the result. but my need is to open the index reader and writing the index for the specific client alone with the identification of clientid at runtime. I have logged my query in Hibernate forum https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1008229&sid=5b093... On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 1:32 PM, Amin Mohammed-Coleman <aminmc(a)gmail.com&gt;wrote:
