Thanks for your answer.

Well I want to search around  6 billion documents.
Most of them very small, but I am confident to be hitting
that number in the long run.

I am currently running a small random text indexer with 400 docs/second.
It will reach 2 billion in around 45 days.

I really hope you all who are saying 2 billion docs
will bring lucene to its knees are wrong...
Ray.

Subject: Re: MultiSearcher to overcome the Integer.MAX_VALUE limit


Well, I'm not sure. But any index, even one split amongst many nodes
is going to have some interesting performance characteristics if you
have over 2 billion documents.... So I'm not sure it matters <G>...

What problem are you really trying to solve? You'll probably get
more meaningful answers if you tell us what that is.

Hey Guys,

just a quick question to confirm an assumption I have.

Is it correct that I can have around 100 Indexes each at its
Integer.MAX_VALUE limit of documents, but can happily
search  them all with a MultiSearcher if all combined returned
hits don't add up to the Integer.MAX_VALUE themselves ?

Kind regards,

Ray.
