Hi,

We're indexing a lot of dirty OCR. So the index is really huge due to the size of the position file. We still get ok response time though with a median of 100ms. Phrase queries are a different matter obviously. But we're seeing some really large increases in index size as we add a couple of fields that do not make sense.

Our 500,000 document index is 120G. It's simple schema is:

<field name="id" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true"/>
<field name="ocr" type="Ocr" indexed="true" stored="false" required="true"/>
<field name="title" type="Ocr" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true"/> <field name="author" type="Ocr" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true"/> <field name="rights" type="sint" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true"/>

We added the following 2 fields to the above schema as follows:

<field name="date" type="date" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true"/> <field name="hlb" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true"/>

where the "hlb" field consists of not more than 3-4 strings such as "Social Sicence"/

Our 500,000 document index size increased to 166G! This seems completely wrong. Looking at the directory listings for each case it appears every one of the files grew in size.

How can this be?
