Right now, I'm working on changing up some of the old JBCS API into  
some newer and slicker stuff for Infinispan. Since it's a new and  
slick project, why not step the querying up a gear eh?

As far as I know if you can get stuff into Lucene then it should be  
okay. Personally, I'm a newb w.r.t. Jackrabbit, so I'm not sure how  
it's tied into Lucene. I'm going to assume that as long as you use  
regular Cache API and it gets put into Lucene then everything should  
work fine. But I guess that there's really only one way to find out by  
trying it out :-).

Again, I'm not really experienced with RESTful stuff either. Maybe  
Galder or Mircea could help with this?

If you have any ideas on searching within keystring patterns then by  
all means - suggestions are always welcome.

Yes yes - I'm doing a lot of stuff in the ISPN-32 branch. I'm gonna  
hopefully switch it back into trunk over the next couple of days.  
Early next week at worst I reckon.
