hello, I was reading the performance optimization guides then I found : writer.setRAMBufferSizeMB()
combined with: writer.setMaxBufferedDocs(IndexWriter.DISABLE_AUTO_FLUSH); this can be used to flush automatically so if the ram buffer size is over a certain limit it will flush. now the question: i would like to manage all flushes myself. yet, i still need a large ram buffer (for search performance) how can I set ram buffer size to a large value, yet dont use auto flush. I just want to flush every 32 documents added - and manage that myself. if the ram buffer size is high, but we have a small number of documents, does lucene try to write the entire contents of the ram buffer - thus resulting in a higher flush time? usually in oodbms systems, you use a larger ram buffer for search, and a smaller ram buffer for write optimization. the reason being is a smaller ram buffer is writable to disk faster. is that the case with lucene? Best. -C.B.
