RE: [Tm4j-developers] Index interface proposal checked in

[Florian G. H. <f.g...@gm...>]

Hello!

I must admit I'm certainly no expert at this, but what you are saying about
the general purpose of these indexing mechanisms makes sense to me. Having
had a look at the interface definitions themselves, I have a couple of
questions:

* What's the difference between an "open" and an "initialized" index? In
other words, how would IndexProvider.getIndex().isOpen() be different from
IndexProvider.getIndexMeta().isInitialised()? And how would that, in turn,
differ from IndexManager.getIndexMetaData().isInitialised()?

* What would be an "explicit runtime initialisation" as mentioned in the
documentation for IndexManager?

Later,
