stored="true" means that this piece of info will be stored in a filesystem. So that your index will contain 1Mb of pure log PLUS some info related to indexing itself: terms, etc.
Search speed is more important than index size... And note this: message field contains actual log, stored="true", so that only this field will make 1Mb if not indexed -----Original Message----- From: Silent Surfer [mailto:silentsurfe...@yahoo.com] Sent: August-20-09 11:01 AM To: Solr User Subject: How to reduce the Solr index size.. Hi, I am newbie to Solr. We recently started using Solr. We are using Solr to process the server logs. We are creating the indexes for each line of the logs, so that users would be able to do a fine grain search upto second/ms. Now what we are observing is , the index size that is being created is almost double the size of the actual log size. i.e if the logs size is say 1 MB, the actual index size is around 2 MB. Could anyone let us know what can be done to reduce the index size. Do we need to change any configurations/delete any files which are created during the indexing processes, but not required for searching.. Our schema is as follows: <field name="pkey" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="false" /> <field name="date" type="date" indexed="true" stored="true" omitNorms="true"/> <field name="level" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <field name="app" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <field name="server" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <field name="port" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <field name="class" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <field name="method" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <field name="filename" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <field name="linenumber" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <field name="message" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true"/> message field holds the actual logtext. Thanks, sS
