No. Startup/re-open time is around 1 minute for the Solr instance, but due to <long story> we are currently doing nightly updates only. > I seem to recall that facet cache is not per segment so every time the > index is updated the facet cache will need to be re-computed. That is correct. We haven't experimented with segment based faceting yet, but from what I can see you get faster startup at the cost of slower subsequent queries due to costly merging. When we increase the frequency of updates (working goal is every 5 minutes), we will have to look into this. On that note, Lucene's faceting with a central repository for the facet terms looks very interesting as it opens up for both fast startup and fast queries. Regards, Toke Eskildsen
