The more I use Zend Lucene lib, the more I think I should go for a different lib next time I integratet a search engine (such as Sphinx for instance). Java Lucene is fast and not too greedy resource wise. Zend Lucene on the other hand becomes quite slow and resources greedy as soon as amount of data reaches a certain volume.
In a previous post about optimising Zend Lucene index I advised to use Luke (Java Tool used to optimise Lucene index) to speed up the optimization process (which Zend Lucene does quite badly).
The thing to keep in mind is that the current version of Zend Lucene relies on Lucene 2.3, whereas Luke versions available on the Google Code website are only compatible with Lucene 2.4 ...
So you'll need the Luke 0.8 version, which is available here.
