: I have one index where the instantiation is very fast, to the point where I : don't need to do any pooling. A new index I have created, takes a very long : time to create the IndexSearcher object. With a 30mb index, it can take : about 30 seconds just to instantiate an IndexSearcher(). It almost seems : like it is reading the index at that point. : : : The only difference between the indexes has been the # of fields indexed. : The newer one only having one field indexed.
If i remember correctly, The IndexSearcher constructor doesn't do anything but open an IndexReader ... IndexReader.open() opens a MultiReader on all of the segments, and each of the SegmentReaders open up a bunch of files. so off hte top of my head, one thing that can make a differnece in the "new IndexSearcher" times, is how many segments you have in your index (ie: is it optimized?) ... using the compound fileformat can probably make a difference as well. : Any ways to speed up that instantiation? Or do I have to use a pooling : system? Even if you get it down to 0.00001 seconds,i would still reuse the same IndexSearcher as much as possible.
