I guess I was wrong, then... But I have 262 indexes with a combined 130 or so million documents and at times the memory usage for a single query exceeds 1.3 gigs with me only taking the top 25 of the hits. We pushed the jvm to 1.6 gigs and it seems to be doing OK, but if it's not the results from the sub-queries, what's taking up all the memory?

Posting lists are merged, so memory requirements are proportional to the number of terms in the query (one buffer per term). So the issue is not memory, but compute time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
