batch indexing is when you index in periodic basis, for example once a day, and interactive is when you index "live" data. -- Jokin On 2/12/07, Sairaj Sunil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi I have not traced the memory usage. i have one question. what is the difference between batch indexing and interactive indexing. may be this is too silly to ask , but nevertheless i want to make it clear. because if i reduce the merge factor below 10 (for example 5), the performance has improved slightly. i am indexing the documents all at once. i.e., I open the writer and add the documents in the end optimize and then close.
