If only 30GB, go with RAM and MMAPDirectory (as long as you have the budget for that hardware). My understanding is that RAMDirectory is intended for unit tests, not for production indexes. On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 10:50 AM, Dragon Fly wrote: > > Hi, > > If I want to improve performance, which of

What metrics are you measuring performance by? Also, what is your current setup? You might be able to speed up your current setup by tweaking configuration settings without needing more hardware. On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 11:50 AM, Dragon Fly wrote: > > Hi, > > If I want to improve performance, whi

Hi, If I want to improve performance, which of the following is better and why? 1. Buy a machine with a lot of RAM and use a RAMDirectory for the index. 2. Put the index on a solid state drive. By the way, my index is about 30 GB. Thank you.
