Howdy all, I am having a problem with inserting/updating records into my index. I have approximately 1.5M records in the index taking about 2.5G space when optimized.
If I want to update 1000 records, I delete the old item and insert the new one. This is taking a LONG time to accomplish. I believe this is taking time due to the fact that I have to close the writer to delete from the reader, then open the writer to insert the new record. I have to do this 1 time for each item that needs to be inserted. I tried to not optimize the index, thinking that opening the index/closing it was taking the big time, but the time seems to be the same when I have many files ( I had to uncrease the ulimit by quite a few to avoid the too many files error as well). Snippets of code.. To delete a record, I am: //Close the index writer.close(); //Instantiate the reader object for deletion IndexReader reader = IndexReader.open(dir); reader.delete(new Term("simm",simm)); reader.close(); //Get directory again and Create a new writer to open for insert Then insert the record.. and move to the next record I can't keep the writer open to delete an item cause I get this error: Lock obtain timed out: Lock@ Anyone have any ideas on how to speed this process up? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
