[Łukasz Moreń]

Hi,
Yes, I can adjust the patch next days. I've just noticed that I send summary
in not friendly format :), better one is now attached.

There is explanation for yours questions below.

IndexWriterSetting has to set up MergeScheduler in IndexWriter. Before,
parsing was responsible for number conversion from String to int. Now I have
to parse class name, and build/return MergeScheduler from it.

Yes it is possible. Writing process is divided into stages, during every
stage can be written max: buffer_size bytes. At the end of the stage its
checked if necessary is new chunk, if so new chunk is created.

IW is opened with create=true parameter, first index have to be
initialized/created. Always next IW is opened with create=false parameter,
then data is appended to exisitng index. Similar things are done in other
DP's.

in stop()

Yes. Should be closed.

This name is used to distinguish cluster used by HSearch - All nodes with
the same name form a group. Yes, rather "Hibernate Search cluster" is better
name. It is safe to modify GlobalConfiguration, there can be set up
configuration for CacheManager like communication way (JGroups or something
else), stack configuration for JGroups, etc.; where Configuration is used to
configure specific cache. I think just the infinispan cluster name on JBoss
AS have to be different from HSearch, then they will be independent.

Yes right, I was testing it with DummyTM and forgot to change it later.

Better FileMetadata or maybe FileHeader.

Yes in tests only so far. However it can be used as a provided default
configuration. I will send maybe question to infinispan group about best
configuration parameters. "It's a movie cache" it's the name for cache
configured in ispn-cache-default-conf.xml. In tests in this cache are stored
indexes for entity Movie. Indexes for all other entities are stored in
default HSInfinispanCache.
