How to set up CouchDB-Lucene on Android

Question

We are enhancing an Android app to have advanced SEARCH features.

The app uses Couchbase-mobile (version 2.0.0) as a an Android service...

I have these questions with implementation:

1. How simple it is to integrate something like [CouchDB-Lucene][1].
2. I guess we will have to trigger the couchdb-lucene java process on the Android device (as a service), but not sure if configuring the local Couchbase's .ini file is the only thing needed.
3. Is CouchDb-Lucene okay for Android or too heavy?

Would be great if anyone could provide some pointers.

Looks like someone got started here: https://github.com/ArtooTrills/TouchDB-Android-Lucene

I should note that this version of the Android syncronizing database is old. We are working on a new lighter version of it, check out the Couchbase mobile mailing list to get the latest info: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mobile-couchbase
