: My question is: If I just want to update the small fields in one index : and do not want to update the large fields in another index, how can I : make sure these two indexes are synchronized and have the same document : number?
the short answer: build them in the same order, use the exact same IndexWriter settings, and optimize both indexes. you can rebuild either of them again and again and again if you want -- as long as you keep doing it in the same order. ParallelReader is a pretty special caes class that not a lot of people seem to use (or if they are they don't talk about it much) but there has been a few discussions about it in the past .. i would suggest searching the mail archives and pay special attention to anything by Chuck Williams ... he's pretty much the foremost authority on ParallelReader. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
