Description:
MG4J (Managing Gigabytes for Java) is a collaborative effort aimed at providing 
a free Java implementation of inverted-index compression techniques; as a 
by-product, it offers several general-purpose optimised classes, including fast 
&amp; compact mutable strings, bit-level I/O, (possibly signed) minimal perfect 
hashing, etc.

Generating full-text inverted indices for very large sets of documents
(say, beyond dozens of millions) is a nontrivial task. MG4J tries to make the 
techniques described in the book Managing Gigabytes, by Ian    Witten, Alistair 
Moffat and Timothy Bell, accessible without having to deal with bit-level 
operations in a clean, object-oriented environment.

You can find APIs, etc. at http://vigna.dsi.unimi.it/MG4J/
