The history, as I recall, is it used to be off in 1.x. Then, b/c some people (not a lot) were hitting it, we turned on CFS by default. The perf. penalty is pretty significant and I think it is far easier to tell someone how to up their file handle limit or turn it on, then it is to overcome the sense that Lucene is slower than it really is. -Grant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
