Dear all, I select some of docs that meet some criteria by using TopDocs search(Query query, int n). Also It's easy to select the docs that meet some query and sort by some field by using TopFieldDocs search(Query query, int n, Sort sort). As known, Lucene use field cache when sorting results by field values. According to Lucene in action (second editon), "The first time the field cache is accessed for a given reader and field, the values for all documents are visited and loaded into memory as a single large array, and recorded into an internal cache keyed on the reader instance and the field name. This process can be quite time consuming, for a large index.", "FieldCache does not clear its entries until you close your reader and remove all references to that reader from your application."
Now we have an index with about 200 millions docs in it. However, we can not find the obvious performance difference between the two ways. And I want to know why, thanks for your advice. (We are using Lucene 3.2.0 and java version 1.6.0_26 on SuSe Linux Enterprise Server 10 sp2.) Best, Qiu Run --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
