@Shrikanth: how do you manage multiple redundant configurations(isn' it?) ? I thought indexes would be separate when fields aren't shared. I don't need to import any data/ or re-indexing, if those are the only benefits for separate collections. I just index when a request comes/ new item is added to DB.
