Hi John, ¿How can split the file of the solr index into multiple files? >
Actually, the index is organized in a set of files called segments. It's not just a single file, unless you tell Solr to do so. That's because some "file systems are about to support a maximun > of space in a single file" for example some UNIX file systems only support > a maximun of 2GB per file. > As far as I know, Solr will never arrive to a segment file greater than 2GB, so this shouldn't be a problem. ¿What is the recommended storage strategy for a big solr index files? > I guess that it depends in the indexing/querying performance that you're having, the performance that you want, and what "big" exactly means for you. If your index is so big that individual queries take too long, sharding may be what you're looking for. To better understand the index format, you can see http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_1_0/fileformats.html Also, you can take a look at my blog (http://juanggrande.wordpress.com), in my last post I speak about segments merging.
