: I'm trying to understand the internal Sturcture of the lucene indexer. : Well according to "Lucene in action" book , the Document are first converted : into lucene Document Format, then analysed with the standardAnalyser. : I don't understand how the analysed Documents added to the inverted index,
your questions is somewhat vague and high level, while at the same time asking about some very low level concept ... in a nutshell: * Analyzers are used to extract Terms from each documents * the Inverted Index stores the mapping from Term->Doc with some additional metadata about the positions of the terms in each document If you really want to udner stand the nitty-gritty details of how any of these steps are performed, you really just need to become familiar with the code -- it's easier to express that way then in prose. -Hoss
