A friend of mine runs a Lucene index at the US Library of Congress that is several GB and they search it /very/ quickly.

I'm guessing that if it's taking up to 35 seconds to get a response from the index, there's not much more benchmarking that could be done. Then again, Sriram, you should check to make sure that the entire 35 seconds is taken up by Lucene calls. IS it possible that your Lucene search is only part of the time? For instance, it is common practice to search a Lucene index and then use those results to query a database. Is it possible that other parts of your transaction are dominating the wall-clock time? > You'll probably get more help from the Lucene user list. Absolutely. You've hit the Apache Tomcat mailing list, which is a web application server. You didn't even mention that you were talking about a web application ;) Good luck, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF5vsJ9CaO5/Lv0PARAmokAKCIpy0haQOVp7+I8Av3TFCb3R8kIACePEo2 WSWEuq6C77JhFdNa3pIrkho= =GRQ2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
