Store as little as possible, index as little as possible <G>.....
How big is your index, and how much do you expect it to grow? I ask this because it's probably not worth your time to try to reduce the index size below some threshold... I found that reducing my index from 8G to 4G (through not stemming) gave me about a 10% performance improvement, so at some point it's just not worth the effort. Also, if you posted the index size, it would give folks a chance to say "there's not much you can gain by reducing things more". As it is, I don't have a clue whether your index is 100M or 100T. The former is in the "don't waste your time" class, and the latter is...er... different.... I wouldn't bother compressing for 1%.... Question for "the guys" so I can check an assumption.... Is there any difference between these two?

Hi, I want to make my index as small as possible. I noticed about field.setOmitNorms(true), I read in the list the diff is 1 byte per field per doc, not huge but hey...is the only effect the score being different? I hardly mind about the score so that would be ok. And can I add to an index without norms when it has previous doc with norms? Any other way to minimize size of index? Most of my fields but one are Field.Store.NO, Field.Index.TOKENIZED and Field.TermVector.NO, one is Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.UN_TOKENIZED and Field.TermVector.NO. I tried compressing that one and size is reduced around 1% (it's a small field), but I guess compression means worse performance so I am not sure about applying that. thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
