Hi Eric,

Here are a few statistics we got lately. 
It takes 11 secs on a 64 bit server using RAMDirectory impl for 500 RTF 
documents to get indexed on the fly.
It takes 25 seconds for the same scenario if each of the RTF is converted to 
text file using Aspose and then indexing the text files.
We then resorted to Apache Tika Tool Kit but somehow its failing for 1% of 
RTF's that we have so haven’t yet got confidence on the tool kit yet.(Those 1% 
of files were successfully parsed through Aspose)

We did a detailed analysis for each step and observed that indexing per RTF 
file(i.e using path and content(with File Reader)) happened at the same 
millisecond and 
On an average it took 95millisec for each file to get indexed and took anywhere 
between 200 to 500millisec for file to get converted to text using Aspose.


Thanks,

bq: We don’t want to search on the complete document store

Why not? Alexandre's comment is spot on. For 500 docs you could easily
form a filter query like
&fq=id1 OR id2 OR id3.... (solr-style, but easily done in Lucene). You
get these IDs from the DB
search. This will still be MUCH faster than indexing on the fly.

The default maxBooleanClauses of 1024 if just a configuration problem,
I've seen it at 10 times that.

And you could cache the filter if you wanted and that fit your use case.

Unless you _really_ can show that this solution is untenable, I think
you're making this problem far
too hard for yourself.

If you insist on indexing these docs on the fly, you'll have to live
with the performance hit. There's no
real magic bullet to make your indexing sub-second. As others have
said, indexing 500 docs seems
like it shouldn't take as long as you're reporting. I personally
suspect that your problem is
somewhere in the acquisition phase. What happens if you just comment
out all the
code that actually does anything with Lucene and just go through the
motions of getting
the doc from the system-of-record in your code? My bet is that if you
comment out the indexing
part,  you'll find you spend 18 of your 20 seconds (SWAG).

If my bet is correct, then there's _nothing_ you can do to make this
case work as far as Lucene
is concerned; Lucene had nothing to do with the speed issues, it's
acquiring the docs in the first place.

And if I'm wrong, then there's also virtually nothing you can do.
Lucene is fast, very fast. You're
apparently indexing things that are big/complex/whatever.

Really, explain please why indexing all the docs and using a filter of
the IDs from the DB
won't work. This really, really smells like an XY problem and you have
a flawed approach
that is best scrapped.

Best,
Erick
