Hi,
I heard that Lucene loads the index into memory to do a search, which does
not sound quite right to me. I will not be surprised if Lucene is smart enough
to load
the index into memory when it is feasible, but I'd be surprised if it ALWAYS
loads index memory to do the search, which I think would have scalability
problem.
Could someone clarify on this, thanks!
By the way, could someone please share some experience on the performance of
Lucene, say, on a data set of a few gigabytes and a "reasonable" query, what
would
be the average search time?
