Plugging in Ehcache (second level caching) with lucene

Question

I want to cache the results returned by lucene search using some second level caching framework for faster cached responses. How can I achieve that?

Answer 1

For frequently used queries (or subqueries), Lucene implements cached searches using Filters, such as FieldCacheTermsFilter, or CachingWrapperFilter to cache the results of an arbitrary filter type.
