# FoundationDB Lucene Layer

This layer provides two integration points with Lucene, `FDBDirectory` and
`FDBCodec`. These are full implementations of the [Directory](https://lucene.apache.org/core/4_4_0/core/org/apache/lucene/store/Directory.html)
and [Codec](https://lucene.apache.org/core/4_4_0/core/org/apache/lucene/codecs/Codec.html)
interfaces which are backed entirely by [FoundationDB](https://foundationdb.com/).

`FDBDirectory` can be used on its own with the default `Codec` doing the
interesting work. Files generated by Lucene are stored as blobs in the
database instead of the file system.

`FDBCodec`, which must be used in conjunction with `FDBDirectory`, implements
new serialization and data models for Lucene. This results in explicit keys and
values in the database instead of file-like blobs.

## _Warning: Alpha Stage_

This layer is at an early alpha stage (note the 0.0.1 version number). While
most of the stock Lucene tests pass when using `FDBDirectory`, many currently
fail when running with `FDBCodec`. There are no known _correctness_ issues at
this time but slowness and timeout issues could easily be hiding such problems.

Please try it out and let us know how it works (e.g. on our
[community site](http://community.foundationdb.com/)), but production usage
is *not* recommended.

## FDBCodec Data Model

The [Subspace](https://foundationdb.com/documentation/data-modeling.html#subspaces-of-keys)
concept is used extensively to provide a simple, logical mapping and easy
storage and retrieval. Each directory, segment and format are identified by a
unique string. These identifier strings are then concatenated together to yield
key ranges associated with each logical format being stored.

For example, assume we have a `FDBDirectory` created with the path
`("lucene")` and a segment named `"_0"`. That would result in the following
[Tuples](https://foundationdb.com/documentation/data-modeling.html#tuples):

- `("lucene", "_0", "dat")` for DocValues
- `("lucene", "_0", "inf")` for FieldInfos
- `("lucene", "_0", "liv")` for LiveDocs
- _etc_

Additional keys and values exist under each of those subspaces for storing the
information associated with each format. In the documentation below, the full
subspace is the concatenation of the directory, segment and format subspaces.

### DocValuesFormat

Encodes/decodes strongly typed, per document values. See
[DocValuesFormat](https://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0/core/org/apache/lucene/codecs/DocValuesFormat.html)
and
[FieldInfo.DocValuesType](https://lucene.apache.org/core/4_4_0/core/org/apache/lucene/index/FieldInfo.DocValuesType.html).

The `long_BINARY`, `long_NUMERIC`, `long_SORTED` and `long_SORTED_SET` key parts
below refer to the `DocValuesType` enum `ordinal()` values.

Subspace: `("dat")`

(str_fieldName, long_BINARY, long_doc0) => (bytes_value)
(str_fieldName, long_BINARY, long_doc1) => (bytes_value)
