When working with Lucene, it is often useful to inspect an index.
Luke is awesome, but often times it is not feasible to inspect an index on a remote machine using a GUI. That's where Clue comes in. You can ssh into your production box and inspect your index using your favorite shell.
Another important feature for Clue is the ability to interact with other Unix commands via piping, e.g. grep, more etc.

Clue bundles with some test data (15000 car data) for you to build a sample index to play with, do:
./bin/build_sample_index.sh my-idx
-
Getting all the terms in the field 'color_indexed':
./bin/clue.sh my-idx terms color_indexed
-
Getting all the terms in the field 'color_indexed' starting with the term staring with 'r':
./bin/clue.sh my-idx terms color_indexed:r
./bin/clue.sh my-idx terms color_indexed | grep r
-
Do a search:
./bin/clue.sh my-idx search myquery
-
Get the index info:
./bin/clue.sh my-idx info
-
Iterate a posting for the term color_indexed:red
./bin/clue.sh my-idx postings color_indexed:red
-
List docvalues for the column-stride-field color:
./bin/clue.sh my-idx docval color
-
Get docvalue for the column-stride-field category for document 4:
./bin/clue.sh my-idx docval category 5
-
Get docvalue for the column-stride-field year of type numeric for document 3:
./bin/clue.sh my-idx docval year 3
-
Get docvalue for the column-stride-field json of type binary for document 3:
