We are currently running some multi-gigabyte indexes with over 10 million documents, and the "optimize" time is starting to become a problem. For our largest indexes we're already seeing times of 10-20 minutes, on a fairly decent machine, which is starting to hit the threshold of acceptability for us (and will become unbearable as the index grows 2-10 times larger). So I've got two questions:
* Are there any tricks that you guys use to run large (incrementally updatable) indexes? I've already setup a mirroring system so I have one index that is always searchable while the other one is incrementally updating (and they swap periodically). * If not, I was going to work on some targeted patches to help with our immediate problems (which I hope to contribute back to the source). My question is whether Lucene is a Java 1.1 project going forward, or if it is just in the 1.1 style for historical reasons? I couldn't find any guidance on the web-site or in the mailing list one way or the other. What is the official standard for patches? Do you guys accept non-1.1 patches, and if so what version of java should we write to?
