I am not sure why this is the case, docid is internal to the sub index. As long as the sub index size is below 2 bil, there is no need for docid to be long. With multiple indexes, I was thinking having an aggregater which merges maybe only a page of search result.
Example: sub index 1: 1 billion docs sub index 2: 1 billion docs sub index 3: 1 billion docs federating search to these subindexes, you represent an index of 3 billion docs, and all internal doc ids are of type int. Maybe I am not understanding something. -John On Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 4:10 PM, Daniel Noll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thursday 01 May 2008 00:01:48 John Wang wrote: > > I am not sure how well lucene would perform with > 2 Billion docs in a > > single index anyway. > > Even if they're in multiple indexes, the doc IDs being ints will still > prevent > it going past 2Gi unless you wrap your own framework around it. > > Daniel > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
