info on how lucene conducsts a search?

2012-11-27 Thread geeky2
Hello all,

can someone point me to info or docs on how a lucene search is conducted?

i would like to have a better understanding of how this works in general -
but also from a design perspective.

for instance - a question that keeps coming up is, should we add content to
a given core - or break it out in to another core - for performance reasons.

thx
mark

hello,

thanks for the info.

as you suggested - i did do a general search and found this slide
presentation - which had some good general info.  i am not sure what the
source of this preso, how qualified the author (although he/she seems very
good) or how current the information is?

http://www.slideshare.net/nitin_stephens/lucene-basics#btnNext

i have been working with solr for over a year - but feel like i am missing
the larger picture and want to know more.

is the lucene in action book good and worth buying - it looks like it covers
lucene 3.0 but may be 2 years old now.

thx
mark

yes - i am referring to solr cores.

i was hoping to find a more academic explanation to a few of my questions. 
for example - is a lucene search done as a "full table scan" and therefore
linear in performance or O(n)??

knowing things like this - would help me make better core/index design
decisions (along with other factors - of course).

thx
