I'm building a distributed index (mostly as a reasearch project for school) and I'm evaluating indexing the entire collection in memory (like google, facebook and others have done years ago). The obvious reason for this is performance considering that the replication will give me a reasonably good durability of the data (despite being in volatile memory).
What is the current status of Lucene for this kind of indexes? RAMDirectory in it's documentation has a scary warning that says that "is not intended to work with huge indexes", and that sounds more like it is an implementation for testing rather than something for production. Of course there is no real context for this question, because it is a reasearch topic. Testing it's limits would be the closest to a context I have :p Thanks Emmanuel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
