Hello, Regarding stability: we use it in a number of high demand production web sites. So far (6month+) it seems stable as we did not run into any issues, crashes whatsoever - even though we use the experimental near realtime functionality first appeared in 2.9.x.
Also - performance in some use-cases (which are cardinal for us, like date and integer range queries) has been even further optimized in 2.9 to a level that is required in high demand environments. Just as a quick example: we experimented with and index of 1million docs (each with 50+ fields) and queries that contained multiple range-queries for integers and dates and overall had 20+ expressions in it. Executing it produced the first hit in 0.005 sec even under high load. I am uncertain however about the future, most importantly bugfixes will ever be done to this release is just a big questionmark. As am I totally content with the current level of functionality (even on the log run) + heavily rely on the Java based docs and examples I wont be willing to replace Lucene.Net with something that is less compatible code/docs wise with the original java Lucene. hth Peter -----Original Message----- From: Remacle, Yannik [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2010 2:09 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: a question regarding lucene.net 2.9.2 stability Hello, Back in May, we used Lucene.Net 2.9.2 to test the feasibility of a some internal project. We were already using Lucene in Java in other projects, but wanted to try the C# port for integration reasons. It performed very well on a repository of about 8 millions documents; we didn’t encounter any serious issues. The project went dormant , so we didn’t use it in our production environment, and we didn’t test it extensively, but it did seem to be _very_ stable and fast. Now, a few months later, when we were about to revive our project, I’m reading all those threads regarding the future of Lucene.net, which seems, apparently, uncertain. So, I was wondering, would you guys consider it a wise decision (or not) to use lucene.net 2.9.2? That is, hoping that 1) Lucene.Net 2.9.2 is stable enough, and 2) Lucene.Net has a future? Thanks, Yannik
