I didn't find the answer to my question yet but I made some progress: Using a profiler, I saw that a lot of time is spent looking for URL in the text document (using regular expression). This is something Lucene doesn't do. However, having recompiled the text parser without this scanning, it is still as slow. Now it seems that a lot of time is spent in hadoop framework (compared to say the indexing by Lucene and the loading of documents from the file system).
Would that mean that the overhead of the Hadoop framework is killing the performance on a single box ? -------- Message d'origine-------- De: Brette, Marc Date: lun. 23/07/2007 12:08 À: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Nutch overhead to Lucene (or: why is Nutch 4 times slower than Lucene ?) Hi all, I performed a little test where I index the same set of documents with Nutch (0.9) and Lucene. This is a set of documents from TREC, 134 000+ short text documents. With Lucene, it took 1H. With Nutch using the file:/ protocol, it took 4H10. Could anyone explain why there is such a difference and is there some way to eliminate part of this overhead ?
