Using JBoss Cache as a Directory for Apache Lucene
Has anyone tried to store Lucene index in JBoss Cache? Are there any good Lucene Directory implementations for this? I only found sources for this , but I cannot find any documentation or feedback on this.
Basically I would like to store the Lucene index in JBoss Cache and manipulate it by an application written with GridGain support (GridGain supports JBoss Cache almost out of the box).
Share your thoughts.

JBossCache is not suitable as a directory environment for lucene because it has no file locking facility and its atomicity is fuzzy at best. None of this results in a good consistent index.
You might be interested to know what the Compass Project does (compass does for Lucene what Hibernate does for JDBC). Compass supports index storage using a number of third-party distribution technologies , but JBoss Cache is not one of them. I believe it was tried out and abandoned because it just didn't work.
