Hi, I have 2 million documents, with a name property. (~15 to 20 characters). Fuzzy searching against this property takes around 3 seconds, which is way too much for what I plan to do, so I am considering the possible optimizations. I can add a property to each of the documents, that could partition the document space into 400 spaces. Each space would then be limited to 5000 documents, which should be small enough to make the fuzzy search faster.
However, my question is : how do I take advantage of this additional property ? Using a traditional RDBMS, I would add an index on the field, but on Lucene, I'm not sure of how to proceed. Would filters be the way to go ? (http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/search/Filter.html) Could a Caching Wrapperfilter help even more ? (http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/search/CachingWrapperFilter.html) Additionnally, the additional property is an id, so can I store it as a number so that it is faster (I guess) than string comparison ? Thanks a lot, Sami Dalouche --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
