A considerable amount of custom coding. At a minimum, you'd have to write your own implementations of some Lucene classes and probably some Solr classes. This sort of integration might also require changes to the upstream Lucene/Solr source code. I doubt there would be enough benefit (either performance or anything else) to be worth the time and energy required. If Lucene-level support would have produced a demonstrably better expiration feature, it would have been implemented that way. If you're *already* an expert in Lucene/Solr code, then it might be a fun intellectual exercise, but such a large-scale overhaul of an existing feature that works well is not something I would try to do. Thanks, Shawn
