Hi, I just a general question: What are the pros and cons of a split index(a number of small indexes) as opposed to a single large index?
As I have repeatedly seen in various posts at this group, people have opted for split indexes in cases where they have a large number of documents (say > 1 million) in the index and in such cases updating and merging of indexes becomes costly in terms of performance. I have also had the same experience. So was wondering if splitting the index into a number of smaller indexes would improve the performance of index-modifying operations, while at the same time NOT SACRIFICING the index search operation. Any ideas on this? Thanks, Aalap. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
