termInfosIndexDivisor vs termIndexInterval

[Anuj Shah <an...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is someone able to explain the purpose of both these properties. By reading
the documentation I don't understand the benefit of setting the
termIndexInterval on the IndexWriter.

Thanks

Somewhat historic reasons.
It used to be IndexWriter was the only place you could define this setting 
(making it an index-time decision burnt into the index).
The IndexReader option is a relatively newer addition that adds the flexibility 
to decide about memory usage whenever you open the index (giving you the luxury 
of not having to decide on a sensible interval setting up front)

Cheers
Mark
