Hi! Eamon.

I am currently working on "extending" the index with metabolites from our metabolite assignment file. I have dome some tests and it looks fine so far but at this point I need you help.

INITIAL SITUATION:
As you pointed out in a previous email, the easy way to index is to change, AssayBridge to have extra lucene index information. So I am doing some test locally.

QUESTIONS:
1st.: I assume we need to fork BioInvIndex to do this, right?

the AssayBridge.set method is receiving a collection of assays and 2 lucene objects. So I have the assay collection to do all my job.

2nd.: How can a know if the assay has a column named "metabolite assignment file". Shall I do it manually?, opening the assayfile (in this case, how can I get the file name?).

All the best, Pablo
