I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong, because I've been impressed with Lucene so far. The basic problem I'm seeing is that when I run the same search several times against box A (with 1 RemoteSearchable), I see X for an average search response time. When I run the same search several times against a different box, say box B (also with 1 RemoteSearchable), I see Y for an average response time.
NOTE: the search I am using does have a date range in it and I am not using any Filters. However, when I then run the same search several times against both boxes, I'm seeing an average response time that is much larger than the larger or X or Y. For example, Searching against only box A, average response time = 3707 ms, 683847 docs found Searching against only box B, average response time = 1095 ms, 93566 docs found Searching against box A and B, 777413 docs found average response time for box A = 8528 ms average response time for box B = 2357 ms As you can see the response times on each box suffers a lot when I search them at the same time. Details: I have a configuration that has a ParallelMultiSearcher at the highest level. In this example, it would hold 2 RemoteSearchables. Each RemoteSearchable is running on a Wintel box and is holding a ParallelMultiSearcher of 12 IndexSearchers. So, in the above example, I am searching a total of 24 indices, 12 on each box. Do you have any suggestions as to where I can start digging ? Thanks for any help. Ron.
