Hi, I'm using Lucene 2.9.3 on a 64 bit machine. Many a times we are observing that the systems gets into to thrashing mode during merges. We are experimenting with using MMapDirectory. Our index is stored on NFS/CIFS mounted file shares. My question, is this MMapDirectory useful in such scenarios, I mean for indexes on a network file share? Any experiences or thoughts on this?
I cannot really migrate to latest lucene as of now. Thanks, Suresh
