Hello Fellow Lucene-eers, I have a lucene 6.5.1 app primarily indexed/searched via the latLonDocValuesField. The index is built once, and has no writes/deletes in production. At indexing time, we need to select the number of segments we want to generate, and it is unclear to us how many segments we should generate if we are optimizing for query speed. My intuition says that we should only generate 1 segment as we will have no writes/deletes, but I cannot find any hard evidence online to support or refute that hypothesis. Does anyone here know how many segments we should use? 1 segment? 1 segment per cpu in prod? 1 segment per core in prod? Something else?
Best, Tom Hirschfeld
