Whoosh RamStorage backend

[Kegan Gan]

Is django-haystack going to provide selection of backend for Whoosh?
In particular the RamStorage backend.

I think this is extremely important for running unit tests in a Django
project.

Currently, I am working around the my unit tests to temporary create a
directory for storing Whoosh index files. And later deleting it after
the tests are completed.

Any best practices for this?

Thanks.

Kegan,


I don't disagree on that this ought to be available (likely via a
setting) though the default should remain the ``FileStorage`` backend.
The ``RamStorage`` backend is much faster, but I fear people
(especially new users) losing their data by accidentally using it.
Created an issue #144 for this.

Yes the default definitely should be FileStorage :)

So, how do I file a ticket for supporting RamStorage?
