: 2) I doubt that ordering on 2 fields like "time" up to sec (or even to min) : and "integer" will be quicker when sorting using just one "long"
i wouldn't be so sure untill you benchmark it ... The biggest issue is the total number of Terms per field that come into play when you sort ... with millisecond granularity, you have a huge number of unique terms, if you were to break that up into 2 (or maybe even 3) fields -- the first being down to minute resolution, then second being seconds and milliseconds, then assuming you get logs and lots of queries in a single minute, the number of unique terms for those two fields decreases drasticly. you may in fact find it faster to sort multiple fields in that case. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
