index time for lucene

[Dmitry <dm...@hotmail.com>]

I would be interested in what the indexing times for Lucene to index about 
700,000 document objects? Are there any ways to improve this time? On what 
indexation time depends?

thanks,

this is probably a more appropriate question for the Lucene user's list.

Have you searched any of the documents on the Lucene websiet? e.g.
http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/benchmarks.html
and
http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ImproveIndexingSpeed

That said, it's impossible to answer your question, you'll have to
try and measure. There are too many variables. How big is
each document? How many fields are you indexing? What
size are they? What hardware are you running on? How much
RAM do you have? What do you require for speed? etc. etc.

Even if you provided an answer to those questions we'd
be able to give you no more than  a WAG. So I recommend
you make a simple indexer and measure.
