Hi, ----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2008 12:41:18 PM Subject: Max size of index (FSDirectory )
Hi, is there any maximum size for an index? OG: There is: doc IDs are currently integers, so max int size dictates the max number of documents per index. However, you are a lot more likely to be limited by hardware. Are there any recommendations for a useful max size? OG: it really depends on the size of documents, number of fields, hardware specs, the required query latency, and so on. I want to index in parallel. So I have to create multiple indexes. Shall I merge them together or shall I let them as they are using (Parallel)MultiSearcher? OG: again, it depends. If the index you'd get by merging is of manageable size, then merge your indices. Otherwise, use remote flavour of PMS and spread your indices over multiple search servers.
