Cassandra Targett reassigned SOLR-3504: --------------------------------------- Assignee: Cassandra Targett > Clearly document the limit for the maximum number of documents in a single > index > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-3504 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3504 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation, update > Affects Versions: 3.6 > Reporter: Jack Krupansky > Assignee: Cassandra Targett > Priority: Minor > > Although the actual limit to the number of documents supported by a Solr > implementation depends on the number of shards, unless the user is intimately > familiar with the implementation of Lucene, they may not realize that a > single Solr index (single shard, single core) is limited to approximately > 2.14 billion documents regardless of their processing power or memory. This > limit should be clearly documented for the Solr user. > Granted, users should be strongly discouraged from attempting to create a > single, unsharded index of that size, but they certainly should have to find > out about the Lucene limit by accident. > A subsequent issue will recommend that Solr detect and appropriately report > to the user when and if this limit is hit. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
