Hi all, Lucene says if we use compound file format than it greatly increase the number of file descriptors used by indexing and by searching. Can you please tell me what does it mean. Which file are opened by during indexing and searching. I know something but still not very clear. I have some other issues also like:
when we search then what does lucene do? whether It loads all the index result into the memory? In this case if I have very large index than definitely run out of memory. Please reply me. Thanks & Regards, Rohit
