I want to create an ebs volume (Amazon EC2 cloud computing) to store my lucene index.
What is the best file system to use (when using the command mkfs -t ?) ? I know xfs is often used for mysql but is it the case for lucene index ?
thanks.
We are using Omnifind on Windows 2008 Server for site search, and after one website has migrated to another server - same domain, another IP (DNS update has been more than 24 hours ago, Omnifind server knows new IP) -, Omnifind keeps searching the old IP, meaning it has cached the name resolution somewhere.
But where?
Omnifind uses Apache Lucene technology, so maybe someone has an idea about that one which might serve as a hint?
Restarting the service or the server doesn't change that behaviour.
searchterm: foo
should match foo and foobar
searchterm: "foo"
should only match foo
I tried LuceneSearch and SphinxSearch so far, but I couldn't get any of these to behave like google. foo will only match foo, and foo* will match foo and foobar.
Can anyone with experience of implmementing / running a Lucene.NET solution recommend rough system specifications for a live environment. Is it processor, memory or disk intensive. Does it only use a single processor, so having a box with multiprocessors / cores wouldn't return much benefit, etc?
This is for a greenfields development so there is no relevent existing system to base usage from. It is expected that the data we would be indexing would contain 200K documents (customers) and would contain the standard stuff like name, contact details and a couple of addresses - so each record wouldn't be too big.
Helpfully we need to start our hardware recommendations before we really have chance to create any test solution - and the hardware that currently exists would make any tests difficult to compare / draw conclusion from.
My site's pages have exceeded the limit of pages for Google Custom Search so many of the results are not found in our site search.
I've been reading about Lucene, Nutch, Solr, etc and I'm wondering if I'd have the requirements for running those on a single server that also runs the site (on nginx) and our mysql server. We hae 2 gigs of RAM.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for migrating to a new site search.
