Slashdot has a nice review of Lucene in Action. Lucene is the search infrastructure underlying Beagle and this book mandatory reading for Beagle hackers. It is one of the most well-written tech books I’ve read in a long time, up there with Robert’s coup de grace Linux Kernel Development (2nd Edition). It addresses almost every key piece of functionality with plenty of code samples showing how to use them, and it’s a slim 400-odd pages, making it a very reasonable read. And Beagle even gets a mention in there!
