Just a thought.. Wouldn't you want to separate the additional info into a separate Lucene index and have 1 field in the main index that does the look-up work from the "other additional info index". In my use case I have a Nutch index with 1 added field i.e. infoid. then I have a separate index just containing site related info i.e address, email, phone etc.. corresponding to that specific page. My experience is that the more fields you have in the index the more slow the search becomes. > ((title:linux^1.0 title:lucene^1.0)^4.0) > +(( > +(title:linux^5.0 location:linux^1.5 content:linux^1.0) > +(title:lucene^5.0 location:lucene^1.5 content:lucene^1.0)) > ((+(+content:linux +content:lucene)) +(site:contentsite1 > site:contentsite2 site:contentsite3 site:contentsite4 > site:contentsite5 site:contentsite6 site:contentsite7)))^0.01)) > +location:australia) > +newsdate:[20061107 TO 20061208] > +region:au) > -jobsite:badsite1 -region:badregion1 -jobsite:badsite2 > -jobsite:badsite3 -jobsite:badsite4 > > Does anyone have ideas or could point us to resources that would allow > us to improve this performance? 2 seconds response added with network > latency gives an impression of "slowness" of our site that we are > trying to reduce. You could do bunch of tweaking in the nutch-site.xml file but I am guessing you have already tried that. I have also heard i.e. never tried something like using mem cache or oscache.. There is an oscache type of implementation under contrib/web2 in Nutch 0.8 maybe you can look there to see how you can implement it in 0.7.. just some wild guesses... > Thank you. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
