Hi, Lets say my data source consists of records like so (the example is Field=Value):
? AAAAAAAAAA=Value1 ? BBBBBBBBBB=Value2 ? CCCCCCCCCC=Value3 ? DDDDDDDDDD=Value4 And lets say I a second copy of my data but this time it looks like so: ? A=Value1 ? B=Value2 ? C=Value3 ? D=Value4 I..e, same data, the only change is the field names?are now shorter Now if?i create two Lucene indexes ... one using the long field name and one using the short field name (my data has not changed) .. will the Lucene index size be smaller for the short field name one?? Will updating and optimizing the index be faster?? Will searching be faster? That is, i'm I better off using short field names vs. long field names? Yes, i will do some performance analyses .. but i want to know if this matters before I do so. Thanks in advance! -JM
