Hi, What are the benefits/drawbacks of using the compound file format (<useCompoundFile>true</useCompoundFile>)? From searching through Solr and Lucene wiki pages:
1. Using the compound file format drops the number of file descriptors needed. Any other benefits? 2. Indexing may be slower. What about query performance? 3. Since Lucene 1.4, the compound file format became the default, however Solr default is not to use compound file format. Why this inconsistency? -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
