Lucene location and rebuild strategy

[Frederic Close]

Hello, 

I have a general question about lucene.

If I'm not wrong the location of lucene index is by default under:

$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/cms/WEB-INF/storage/

which means that every time we do a new release we remove that directory.

what's adviced about this ? 

override the default location and reuse the lucene index after a new release ?

regards

Frederic

Hi,

We usually override the location in the context.xml in tomcat to make
sure the index is outside of the deployment directory with something
like:

<Parameter name="repository-directory"
value="${catalina.base}/../repository" override="false"/>

Regards,
Bart

you never have to clean / remove that lucene directory ? 

regards,

Frederic

Correct. Except when you do something like restoring a (database) backup.
