Hello all, We have over 3 billion unique terms in our indexes and with Solr 3.x we set the TermIndexInterval to about 8 times its default value in order to index without OOMs. ( http://www.hathitrust.org/blogs/large-scale-search/too-many-words-again)
We are now working with Solr 4 and running into memory issues and are wondering if we need to do something analogous for Solr 4. The javadoc for IndexWriterConfig ( http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_10_2/core/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexWriterConfig.html#setTermIndexInterval%28int%29 ) indicates that the lucene 4.1 postings format has some parameters which may be set: "..To configure its parameters (the minimum and maximum size for a block), you would instead use Lucene41PostingsFormat.Lucene41PostingsFormat(int, int) <https://lucene.apache.org/core/4_10_2/core/org/apache/lucene/codecs/lucene41/Lucene41PostingsFormat.html#Lucene41PostingsFormat%28int,%20int%29> " Is there documentation or discussion somewhere about how to determine appropriate parameters or some detail about what setting the maxBlockSize and minBlockSize does?
