Perhaps I can be clearer about my requirement... I need to populate a
portlet with a random list of documents of a specified size from the index,
thats all.
Thanks, and any help would be a greatly appreciated.

Why do you want random hits? If we know more about the bigger
problem, we can probably make better suggestions.
Fundamentally, Lucene is designed to quickly return the best
hits for a query. Returning random hits from the entire
matched set is likely to be very slow. It just isn't what
Lucene is designed to do.
