Hi, I agree with your point that it is easier to partition index by document. But the partition-by-keyword approach has much greater scalability over the partition-by-document approach. Each query involves communicating with constant number of nodes; while partition-by-doc requires spreading the query a long all or many of the nodes. And I am actually doing some small research on this. By the way, the documents to be indexed are not necessarily web pages. They are mostly files stored on each node's file system.
Node failures are also handled by replicas. The index for each term will be replicated on multiple nodes, whose nodeIDs are near to each other. This mechanism is handled by the underlying DHT system. So any idea how can partition index by keyword in lucene? Thanks. On Sun, Mar 2, 2008 at 5:50 AM, Mathieu Lecarme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The easiest way is to split index by Document.
