[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-675?page=comments#action_12440990 ] Grant Ingersoll commented on LUCENE-675: ----------------------------------------
OK, I have a preliminary implementation based on adapting Andrzej's approach. The interesting thing about this approach, is it is easy to adapt to be more or less exhaustive (i.e. how many of the parameters does one wish to have the system alter as it runs) Thus, you can have it change the merge factors, max buffered docs, number of documents indexed, number of different queries run, etc. The tradeoff, of course, is the length of time it takes to run these. So my question to those interested, is what is a good baseline running time for testing in a standard way? My initial thought is to have something that takes between 15-30 minutes to run, but I am not sure on this. Another approach would be to have three "baselines": 1. quick validation (5 minutes to run...) 2. standard (15-45) 3. exhaustive (1-10 hours). I know several others have built benchmarking suites for their internal use, what has been your strategy? Thoughts, ideas, insights?
