Re: What is the largest index(s) size lucene can support

[Chris Hostetter <ho...@fucit.org>]

: Or if to be more specific, can Lucene support BILLIONS of documents
: (across multiple indexes), and search all of them at once using the
: Parallel searcher?

I believe the theoretical limit in the number of documents is
Integer.MAX_VALUE -- regardless of how you partition the index, your
MultiSearcher has to be able to address every doc by (an) id.

There may be pratical limits you'd hit before you reach that point.
