Hi, from the javadocs:
---- For efficiency, in this API documents are often referred to via document numbers, non-negative integers which each name a unique document in the index. These document numbers are ephemeral -- they may change as documents are added to and deleted from an index. Clients should thus not rely on a given document having the same number between sessions. ---- What does it mean in this context "sessions"? Are search sessions? 1) If I have an index that does not change (no deletes or updates) and I'm keeping the MultiReader open, can the docid change executing more times the same search on that reader? 2) Opening the same set of indexes in a MultiReader on different machines will assign different docids to the same document at runtime or the algorithm to calculate such docids in some way can guarantee that static indexes will have the same docids in different machines (than separated JVMs)? nicola. -- Nicola Buso <nb...@ebi.ac.uk> EMBL-EBI --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
