Re: [infinispan-dev] [hibernate-dev] [HSearch] DSL for Lucene queries (was: Re: Query module new API and configurations)

Just wanted to get this topic re-started again. Essentially what I think this project/DSL/module/thingy-bob is thought to become: - A simple package where a user can build Lucene queries without having to know too much about Lucene itself. If I'm headed down the wrong thought path then just thwack me.

What's gained I believe is the fact that people can build complex lucene queries easier. Currently, it's a bit clunky imo so if we provide a cleaner way to build them it can prove beneficial to any lucene user (myself included for querying on Infinispan).
