xindice number of docs per collection

["Armbrust, Daniel C." <Ar...@mayo.edu>]

Thanks Mark for forwarding those e-mails discussing the number of documents
people have loaded into a database.

I guess I have already pushed past those test.  I currently have a database
with a single collection, to which I have added 1.25 million xml documents
(totaling 6.5 GB of XML), which gives me a database size of 7.2 GB.  I have
not encountered any problems yet.  My hope is to be able to enter upwards of
15 million documents into a collection.  I'm not planning on doing searches
or even indexing the collection.  I just need a place to store 15 million
documents and retrieve them quickly.  Currently, we have about 12 million
documents spread across 15 directories on a sun machine.  It is a pain to
find a particular document, as you need to know what directory it is in.
Also, doing any sort of directory operations, (ls, df, etc) is quite painful
on those directories.  When I get some more disk free, and more time, I will
be testing more.

Thanks, 

Dan
