This seems big depending on what you are storing. For example, I have a set of data with 457MB and my Lucene index is 115MB. However, I don't store much.
If you are storing the complete text (even if you don't index it), then it will be about the same size (no probably bigger) than your original data set. --Peter On 5/20/02 4:16 PM, "Erik Hatcher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm indexing 900+ files (less than 1,000) that total about 15MB in size. > These are text files and HTML files.
