Well, it was and still is on Xindice TODO list :-)
By partitioning the database into smaller collections may improve the performance.
I'm curious, why do you think so? Is there any reason or observation for this?
Please bear in mind also that lots of collections will exhaust your system resources, particularly, file handles (see archives - somebody already hit that limit, I guess he had thousands of collections).
Vadim,
I am curious too. Suppose we have 4 groups, each group add 1000 files every month. Some time we only need to search files from one group, sometime we only need to search for a particular month. Will it be easier if we separate the files by groups and months such that we can work with smaller groups? It may make little difference in searching? how about update? When we update a rescue, will xindice directly modify that resource in the tbl and leave other part untouched? Partitioning is an useful strategic in rdms, is it has any similarity in xindice?
