Quick question on segments: For my use case of having all docs sorted by a static rank and being able to cut off retrieval after a certain number of docs, I have to sort all my docs using the static rank (and Lucene 4 has a way to do this).
When an index has multiple segments, how does this sorting work? Is each segment sorted independently? Or is it possible for me to control this - and have a single segment? Assuming I have a single segment, are there any other constraints? I read somewhere that FieldValue's have a limit of 2Gb per segment - is this true? Thanks, Sriram.
