Use IndexWriter.setRAMBufferSizeMB(double mb) and you won't have to sacrifice anything. It defaults to 16.0 MB so depending on the size of your index you may want to make it larger. Do some testing at various values to see where the sweet spot is.

I'd like to shorten the time it takes to optimize my index and am willing to sacrifice search and indexing performance. Which parameters (e.g. merge factor) should I change? Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch when you're away with Windows Live Messenger. http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_messeng er2_072008 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
