Hi,
Has anyone tried putting the Ferret index on a RAMdisk or some such to
speed things up?
Have you tried using RAMDirectory for in-memory storage of the index?
There's even the possiblity to clone a persistent index into a RAM-based
one for faster access. However I can't imagine you'll get a huge speed
increase - I'd guess with a modern operating system even a persistent
index will end up completely buffered in RAM after some usage.
Yes, but if it's really big parts of it may be unbuffered if the machine
is under high load... Would be nice to have a way to ensure that the
entire index is always in memory.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Cheers!
Patrick
