I still wonder if there's a good way of storing the tags outside the Lucene index and using them via facets whose bitsets are manipulated directly rather than being populated from the index. In my project, reindexing a documents whenever a user adds a tag is very very bad, since we're indexing potentially hundreds of pages of full text in the body field of the document. A solution that gets the tag into the system immediately without forcing a reindexing of the document is essential.
Interesting... what are you indexing that is that large, the book contents? You could build a custom request handler and store tag info outside the index. You could also store it inside the index in separate documents as Erik does with Collex. For a more general solution, I'm thinking a separate lucene index might be ideal. -Yonik
