Hi List

I have a largish partitioned table, it has ~60 million records in each of 12 partitions. It appears that a Full Text Index could speed up some user queries a lot.

A quick test with an additional tsvector column revealed that this would take up around 35 GB of space for this column and then maybe 5 more for the gin index on it. As this is a lot of space (~ 480 GB), I'm a bit tempted to use a gin index without the separate tsvector column. However, the doc says that this will be slower.

do you have problem with disk space ? Searching index is usually very fast
operation, only small part of index readed.  Did you checked time to read
index ?


Does anyone have an idea of how much slower we're talking here? The index defintion would be a concatenation of two setweights(), i.e.:

... using gin(
 (setweight(to_tsvector('config',coalesce(col1,'')), 'A') ||
  setweight(to_tsvector('config',coalesce(col2,'')), 'B')))

Also, general recommendations regarding full text search configurations of that size are very welcome.

        Regards,
                Oleg
