The usual answer: it depends :) Over on http://www.simpy.com I have similar functionality (groups), and I have them as separate indices.
If you want to be able to reindex individual groups separately, you;ll want them in separate groups. If groups in aggregate will get very large, perhaps keeping them separate is more scalable. If you want to distribute groups over multiple servers, keep them separate. If they are heterogeneous (different fields), this may be another reason to keep them separate. etc. Of course, if some of the above don't hold or are not a requirement, a single group may be the way to go for you.

If I work with groups, whats the best option do do? Use a multiple lucene index for every group or is bettter an unique index. For example: I'm working with groups of people, and the action to add or delete is in group level but the search is on all groups. What do you think is the best implementation in lucene? I have any number of index limitation in Multisearcher? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
