I run Lucene.Net as well, and your indexing performance is dependent on more factors aside from whether you're using the Java or C# version. As a basic suggestion, learn what you can about minMergeDocs and mergeFactor as well as the compound file format. Try different combinations to understand what is faster vs. slower.
As a strategy for your specific scenario, you might consider building several indexes in parallel, then merging the indexes at the end. Hope this helps. -- j On 3/22/06, hu andy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi,everyone. I have a large mount of xml files of size 1G. I use > lucene(the > dotNet edition) to index .
