Search Speed What are the most important factors in nutch/lucene's search speed?
I've been testing nutch's search speed on a search pool with about 100M records (separated evenly into 30 segments), and discovered that certain search terms have a signicantly higher search time then others. Some searches take 30 ms while others takes upwards of 3000ms. At first, there seemed to be a direct relationship between the total number of results from a given query and the timeit took to complete. But after further testing, that relationship did not hold true for all cases. There seems to be other factors that directly affect the speed of a search. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Or have some insight to the impact of certain factors on search speed? Thanks. - T __________________________________ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.
