Subject: Can Lucene be configured to avoid downloading file contents?

Hi,


*Can anyone familiar with Lucene please share their insight?*

The question is this: *is there any way to configure Lucene to index only
certain whitelisted metadata*, or exclude blacklisted metadata?


Indeed, we believe that excluding the =E2=80=9Cfile=E2=80=9D metadata could=
 dramatically
reduce the time it takes Lucene to download and process the large number of
PDF files in our particular setup.


We don=E2=80=99t need file contents to be indexed, only other metadata like
=E2=80=9Ccreation date=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=9Ckeywords=E2=80=9D etc.

The =E2=80=9CLuke=E2=80=9D tool tells us that none of the file contents are=
 indexed. Yet
during the hour long indexing, we see all of the metadata being downloaded
and written to disk, including document contents.


If you can help us find a way to prevent Lucene to index the entire
Jackrabbit repository, you=E2=80=99ll cheer up many mailing list subscriber=
s that
have similar issues!


Cheers,

Patrick
