"Another use-case might be to have multiple indexes to speed up indexing. If for example you are scraping websites it is a very good idea to have multiple scraping processes. The best way to do this is to have each process indexing to its own index. You could then search all indexes at once using a MultiReader or you could also merge all indexes into a single index." Does anyone have any recommendations as to whether one method is superior to the other? We have a system where we build multiple indexes from scraping websites and need to expose the indexes as a web application--the web app will only search the index and will never modify it. If we have 30 or 40 indexes, would it be better to combine them or use a MultiReader? How would we combine them? Thanks in advance.
