Hi Simon, The majority of the impact to large stored fields will be on the indexing side (merging will take a little longer). There will be no impact to searching, and the impact to retrieving documents shouldn't matter (assuming you normally want those stored fields when you retrieve hits).
I'd start with the simple approach of storing everything in the lucene index, and optimize or move it out later if needed. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
