I am using Lucene 3.5.0 to do some basic search stuff on my website. I want to store the index in a JDBC Directory in my Mysql Database. I was going to use the Compass Project to do this, but with some more research and actually trying the code I have found that Compass is a dead project and it no longer is compatible with the current version of Lucene.

Is there another option to store my index in a JDBC Directory? Is there a reason Lucene does not offer this native? Is storing on the HDD a better option for some reason?

    From the FAQ:

    Lucene does not support that functionality out of the box, but several people have implemented JdbcDirectory’s. The reports we have seen so far indicate that performance with such implementations is not great, but it is doable.

    Another approach would be to store the index in the database as a BLOB, this could be useful if you have multiple nodes running your application. If you add a timestamp to the BLOB each node could check whether the index has been updated and recreate the index file from the DB.
