Hi all,

As the subject says, I'm wondering about index size vs. number of indexes.

I'm indexing many application log files, currently with an index by day for
all logs, which will make a very large index.  For just a few applications
in Development, the index is 55GB a day (across 2 servers).  In prod with
all applications, it will be "much more than that".  1TB a day maybe?

I'm wondering if there is value in splitting the indexes by day and by
application, which would produce more indexes per day, but they would be
smaller, vs. value in having a single, mammoth index by day alone.

Is it just a resource question?  If I have enough RAM/disk/CPU to support a
"mammoth" index, then I'm fine?  Or are there other reasons to (or to not)
split up indexes?

Very much appreciate your time.
Chris
