I want to index 1 billion documents. what do you think which one (i mean using fsDir or ramDir) is suitable for indexing these many documents.

It means that to pick both high maxBufferedDocs and mergeFator will improve your indexing performance. But if too high, it will lead you to an OutOfMemberException.exception. And if you set mergeFactor too high will also lead you to problem "open too many files". So you should pick proper values according to your box physical setting. > -----Original Message----- > From: vipin sharma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 12:31 PM > To: java-user@lucene.apache.org; Otis Gospodnetic > Subject: Re: IndexWriter.addIndexes & optimizatio > > - > Just set your maxBufferedDocs to as high a number as your RAM/heap will > let you, and pick a mergeFactor that is high, but doesn't get you in trouble > with open files. > > can you please explaing this in brief?? > > regards and thanks, > > On 6/9/06, Otis Gospodnetic < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > When writing a unit test that comapres RAMDirectory and FSDirectory > > performance for Lucene in Action I had a very hard time showing that > > RAMDirectory really is faster. :) Just set your maxBufferedDocs to as high > > a number as your RAM/heap will let you, and pick a mergeFactor that is high, > > but doesn't get you in trouble with open files. > > > > Otis > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > > From: Dan Armbrust <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: java-user@lucene.apache.org > > Sent: Wednesday, June 7, 2006 4:05:49 PM > > Subject: Re: IndexWriter.addIndexes & optimization > > > > Benjamin Stein wrote: > > > > > > > > I could probably store the little RAMDirectories to disk as many > > > FSDirectories, and then addIndexes() of *all* the FSDirectories at the > > end > > > instead of every time.
