Increase your maxBufferedDocs. Otis ----- Original Message ---- From: Sairaj Sunil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Friday, February 9, 2007 11:14:50 AM Subject: Merge factor problem, Hi all, I have increased the merge factor from 10 to 50. I thought the indexing performance will be better. But the time taken taken to index is more than the time taken for the merge factor of 10. The documentation and some articles say that the time taken to index will improve if the merge factor is increased. I have changed the merge factors to 50, 100, 1000. I have left the minMergeDocs to be the default value for all the cases. The time taken to index same number of documents increased in a linear fashion, which is exactly opposite according to the info I have read. Is this the correct behavior. In which cases this behavior happens?
