Lucene in Action 2: Example Implementations

This repository serves as a modern (as of v8.7.0) implementation of a lot of the features and examples described in the book Lucene in Action, Second Edition. Chapters 2-9 are covered and separated into packages based off of the part of the book the example occurs in, and they are shown in both the src/main and src/test directories.

Some of the actual implementing classes may have been renamed or altered from those that appear in the book, so be sure to check classes and packages that sound similar in order to find something you may be looking for.

Many of the available examples can be run by invoking the main class or running the JUnit tests. It is recommended that you use IntelliJ or another IDE with a built-in debugger so that you can step through the implementations and understand what's going on.

Please feel free to open a PR or contact me if you would like changes to be made to this repository.
