Detailed Description

Application specific parameters.

This is a sample application that does distributed retrieval, using a collection selection index and individual indexes. Database ranking is done using the CORIRetMethod (the only db ranking implemented thus far). Database score merging uses CORIMergeMethod (the only merge method implemented so far).

Parameters should be set as follows: index = the collection selection database collCounts = collection counts file for the csindex (needed by CORI) ranksFile = file to write rankings results to (optional) resultFile = file to write final results resultCount = maximum number of results to output for each query (default to 1000) textQuery = file of text queries in docstream format cutoff = maximum number of databases to search (default to 10) "dbids" = "db's param file" - required for each database in the collection selection index. key should be the dbcharid and value should be name of file that has parameters for that database: index = the individual database retModel = the retrieval model to use "modelvals" - whatever parameters are required for that retModel
