Preface
I first started with Lucene about a year after the first edition of Lucene in Action was published. I already had experience building search engines, but didn’t know much about Lucene in particular. So, I picked up a copy of Lucene in Action by Erik and Otis and read it, cover to cover, and I was hooked!
As I used Lucene, I found small improvements here and there, so I started contributing small patches, updating javadocs, discussing topics on Lucene’s mailing lists, and so forth. I eventually became an active core committer and PMC member, committing many changes over the years.
It has now been five-and-a-half years since the first edition of Lucene in Action was published, which is practically an eternity in the fast-paced world ...
