Re: Suggestions for faster serving of queries with Nutch

[Winton Davies]

Indexes in RAM is the way to go. Make a tmpfs.  Putting the segments 
in RAM is much harder, as they should be a lot bigger than the 
indexes. All the indexes have is DocIDs, so you can't even show the 
URL without retrieval. You could presumably create a custom segment 
that didnt store anything but title and URL, if speed was truly most 
important. Of course, you can also shard etc.
