I have two sources of data, let's say one is a set of articles and one is from forum messages. I'd like see the opinion on whether to create one single index or separate index for each kind of document.

The user interface is not yet finalized. The search result may be presented as separated set or they may be interleaved. The user may even be able to set a preference.

I think it is easier to create and maintain separate index. Documents are coming from difference source at different rate. in this case the IndexWriter don't have to aware of the other. They can even reindex independently. On the other hand it maybe easier for the search to be done on a single index.

Is there any experience on this issue?
