At a high level, this would seem like the most valuable approach. But I think we would want to distinguish between writing new documents and merges of existing segments. The way things stand, that means that the merges from the ram segments onto disk should not be interruptible, though disk to disk merges should be. It does sound a little more complicated, but it might still not be too messy. Especially given that the way things are looking, that the merge from ram segments to disk is going to go away/be handled differently than disk to disk anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
