Hello all, This debate we might have had more frequently in the group. Yet one more time, i want to clarify.
I was using multiple indexes (per week one index) with previous versions of Lucene (2.4 - 3.0.3). The performance was really good for incremental indexing. I used to optimize once per day. The only disadvantage is, when data get piled up to 1 year and when i try to reindex, it is throwing too many open files exception. I have seen couple of comments in the group to use Single Index / per machine and not use multiple index. The suggesstion is, not to use optimize for large index. This works fine. I am able to index more than 58 million records. The search performance is really good but index performance is little slow then in my previous model. Previously, I have choosen multiple indexes model beacause i need to do optimize and it was failing for the large index. I thought to break in to multiple small index with same schema. Now optimization is discourged and the name has been changed to forceMerge to discourge its use. I just want to confirm, Is Single Index would be good for millions of records?
