Given these factors and the fact that benchmarks can be a very touchy subject, particularly in the Java community,
OK, I'll bite! (but I'm always too aggravated at many of the Java design decisions to consider myself part of that community ;-) I always see unqualified statements about Ferret being faster than Lucene, but I only see benchmarks for Indexing to back it up: http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9058 Now, I'm sure that Ferret is faster for indexing, but I'm still curious if you: - used the non-compound format - optimized both indicies at the end - set maxBufferedDocs to 1000 (or at least 100) So is Ferret faster for searching too? The absence of stats suggests that it's not :-)
I thought it better to leave any performance comparison off this list. It looks like the cat is out of the bag now so I'll put some benchmarks up on my Wiki and everyone can check that I haven't cheated or made any mistakes.
Cool, looking forward to it. Is there something that can be used for search benchmarking also? Looking forward to progress on Lucy. What is done there could potentially be the a future Lucene index format. -Yonik http://incubator.apache.org/solr Solr, the open-source Lucene search server --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
