You can also use Luke after you've created your indexes to get their exact size, and other interesting data points.

Like Ian said though, the decisions you make on a field by field basis will make your index size vary quite a bit, so probably the best thing you could do is simply try it out, and then examine it.

I think there are too many variables to give a simple answer.

How much of your data are you storing?  Indexing? Compressing?

Get a representative sample of your data and try it out.

I need to know what is the percent of size of lucene's index respect the
information I'm going to index, I have read some articles that say if a I
index 120 Gb of information the index will grow until 40 Gb, that means the
percent is 30 %, Could somebody tell me how can be proved that ?
Is there any official document of apache lucene where says that ?
I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks.
