> Can you describe your crash in more detail? I can't. That experiment was a while ago and a quick test to see if I could index rather large-ish USPTO (patent office) data as vectors. Couldn't do it then.
> How much RAM? My indexing jobs run with rather smallish heaps to give space for I/O buffers. Think 4-8GB at most. So yes, it could have been the problem. I recall segment merging grew slower and slower and then simply crashed. Lucene should work with low heap requirements, even if it slows down. Throwing ram at the indexing/ segment merging problem is... I don't know - not elegant? Anyway. My main point was to remind folks about how Apache works - code is merged in when there are no vetoes. If Rob (or anybody else) remains unconvinced, he or she can block the change. (I didn't invent those rules).
