Hello Xindicians,
It appears that b4 is taking up a lot of disk
space!
1. Unwaring is taking up 38 MB of disk space
2. The "tbl" file for each collection is taking up
6 MB as soon as the collection is being created.
This behaviour is markedly differnt from b3.
Are we doing something wrong?
You don't provide any information on what you're doing, what OS
or VM you're running, so it's impossible to know exactly what
you're doing, but I'm seeing the same behaviour, and it seems to
be true of collections created by 1.1b3 as well.
I've been using both Java 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 on linux and have been
running Xindice 1.1b3 for months, followed by 1.1b4, and until
you mentioned this I hadn't noticed the file sizes of the tbl
files. Part of the reason for this is that the tar.gz archives
of my code weren't getting noticeably bigger. I looked into an
empty 6MB tbl file with vi and it's just 6MB of the same character,
so the compression algorithms were having a heyday. What is
interesting is that the 6MB tbl file size isn't altered as one
adds documents to the collection, it just stays at 6299648 bytes
but begins replacing the existing characters with the content of
the newly-stored documents. I'm not sure if this is a clue or not.
This behaviour seems to be the case with 1.1b3 as well.

Coca-Cola executives protested that they had been misunderstood
and that the drink was not just tap water but in fact the result
of a highly sophisticated process to create the purest drinking
water you can get. As far as Coke were concerned, Dasani was a
lifestyle drink, a drink you would want to be seen with, the
source was all but irrelevant.
Dasani is water, not a lifestyle drink. Gin is a lifestyle drink.
