Optimize performance update (with tons of indexed fields): We had a timing bug... ignore the hour I first reported. Here are the current numbers:
indexed_fields=6791 index_size=3.9GB optimize_time=21min indexed_fields=3216 index_size=2.0GB optimize_time=9min indexed_fields=2080 index_size=1.4GB optimize_time=4min It's a little apples-to-oranges since we simply removed some of the fields to test a lower field count (and hence the index size also goes down). -Yonik On Apr 4, 2005 5:38 PM, Yonik Seeley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I know Lucene is very scalable in many ways, but how about number of > fieldnames? > > We have an index using around 6000 unique fieldnames, > 450,000 documents, and a total index size of 4GB.
