I have a web application written in Perl. My search requirement is to index a file system / on fly document which can contain file types i.e.; HTML, MS Office, PDF documents etc and then perform a full-text search. I have already investigated Apache Solr works fine with sample data. Now I got to know about Apache Lucy and wondering if this is the right candidate for my Perl-based application. My concern with Apache Lucy this is that there is no update on CPAN after Dec 2014. Not sure if this is actively maintained especially what is the progress with integration with Lucene 5.3. I need suggestion on below points:
- Is Apache Lucy is similar to Apache Lucene, API's everything?
- Is Apache Lucy production ready?
- Any tentative planning of new release of Apache Lucy.
Thanks,
