Uwe,
Thank you for your response.
Here is some more information.
CPU - We use 2 processor Quad Core intel CPU. (not sure about the particular
model. I will find out)
JVM - OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0-b09, mixed mode)
OS - Linux
The index resides on a SAN.
You are right. The number of matches seems to affect the response time a
lot.
10 million matches takes about 10 seconds
3.7 million matches takes about 4 seconds
I do warm up the index by running around 100 different searches including
range queries.
I measure the query time in the following way
long start = System.currentTimeInMillis()
search();
System.out.println("search time " + (System.currentTimeInMillis() - start));
and running the range query from our UI and monitoring the log. I ran the
same query several times (at least 20 times) from the UI and it consistently
takes between 3-4 seconds for 3.7 million matches.

I didn't realize lower precision values might affect search speed for a
large index. I got the impression that lower value is always better if I can
afford the extra hard disk space. I will change it to 6.

It is a bug which I didn't realize until now. For some reason, I thought I
had to provide exactly one value per document (even for null) for range
queries to work. I will change the code to not set the value in the field
for null.
I will make these changes and see if there is any improvement.

This is interesting. I observed the following.
Searches on just the default field (TermQuery) is faster even if there are
millions of matches. However, if I do a boolean query involving another
field such as "pearl AND author:joe" the query is very slow for the same
number of matches. Our range query is also part of a BooleanQuery such as
"pearl AND docdate:[<begin-val> TO <end-val>]".
Is there any way to address this performance issue with lots of matches in
BooleanQuery?
Thanks again,
Kumanan
