Thanks Julian I am not using RAMDirectory due to the large size of index file. the index generated on hard disc is 1.57G for 1 million documents, each document has average 500 terms. I am using Field.UnStored(fieldName, terms), so i beliece I am not storing the documents, just the index. (is that right?) is there anyway to reduce the index size created? also What is the maximum size of data can be stored in RAMDirectory? I suppose I could get a 10G RAM solaris box, but would that be advisable say storing 2-3G of index data in memory? Also, what is the performance boost factor when RAMDirectory comparing to FSDirectory. Are we taling about > 100% here?
On your 2nd and 3rd suggestion, I probably run the latest code that includes the fix by Dmitry Serebrennikov, the build was checked out from CVS yesterday. and I used a QueryParser similar to the one used in the demo code. Again, I still feel a bit curious and want to find out does lucene do (or in the future) pre-filter on "AND join conditions". For example, A AND (B OR C OR D). if A finds 100 docs out of 1 million, can lucene restrict the searchs on B,C,D only within the 100 docs found?
