This surprises me, I'm currently working with a 4G index, and the improvement from when it was an 8G index was only 10% or so. And it's plenty speedy.
Are you hitting hardware limitations and perhaps swapping like crazy? In which case, unless you split things across several machines, I doubt it would help to make two smaller indexes. In sum, I really suspect that you're NOT hitting a Lucene limitation, but it's something else about your system.... Best Erick On 3/28/07, Scott Oshima <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
So I assumed a linear decay of performance as an index got bigger. For some reason when going from an index size of 1.89 to 1.95 gigs dramatically increased cpu across all of our servers. I was thinking of splitting the 1.95 index into 2 separate indexes and using a multisearcher on those parts? thanks. -scott
