Description

Hello,

I have created a lucene index. It returns 5 files :
- _0.cfe
- _0.cfs
- _0.si
- segments_1
- write.lock

I would like to convert it into xml files, or even if it is possible into one xml file containing all index informations. After some research, I didn't found a solution. Do you think it's possible and how can I realize that ?

Thank you for your help.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by reviewing the listed Lucene index files and the project's index-reading entry points to determine whether XML export is supported or would require a new design. Done would require a decided approach for representing all index information in XML.
