Thanks Mark I've looked at your posting and it's not the answer to my problem. In testing one large index v. several small indexes, I've found that for high frequency terms, the small individual indexes perform better by a factory of 2 to 3 times. I know this is contrary to what is recommended but in my case I need a total hits count, not a ranked list with the first 100 docs cached.
It appears the overhead involved in resolving terms to docs ids, for large indexes (+25G), and well getting a total count is what is slowing things down. Is there a faster way to access the total hits count?? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] org] On Behalf Of markharw00d Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 4:42 PM To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: hit count within categories I posted the code I use to do this (based on a single index) here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lucene-dev&m=111044178212335&w=2 Cheers Mark ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
