: The primary indexer (daemon) recieves the documents to be indexed. It : dispatches the documents to one of the secondary indexer nodes (via load : balancing). These indexing nodes index the documents in the RAMDirectory, : periodically writing it to a local index in the filesystem.
I'm not certain, but unless your analysis is extremely intensive, I can't think of any advantage in having the secondary indexer nodes. I believe your central server is going to do roughly the same ammount of work merging those smaller indexes in as it would if the documents were added directly. I could be wrong however, I haven't really looked that closely at the internals of addIndex. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
