To store document (specially large ones) out of the index is better than in index. Every merge of segments or optimize will copy those data. Stored in index is possible, but it requires 1-4x more space, depends on read/write speed of the fs, merge and optimize takes longer time.

Can lucene bear this large volume of input streamed data? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
