Guys, my private investigation already left me sceptic about the outcome of this issue, but I've decided to post it as a final resort. Perhaps the gurus know the right answer :-)
Suppose I have an index of about 5,000,000 docs and I am running a single term queries against it, including queries which return say 1,000,000 or even more hits. The hits are sorted by some column and I am happy with the query execution time (i.e. the time spent in the IndexSearcher.query(...) method). Now comes the problem: it is a product requirement that the client is allowed to quickly access (by scrolling) a random page of the result set. Put in different words the app must quickly (in less that a second) respond to requests like: "Give me the results from No 567100 to No 567200" (remember the results are sorted thus ordered). I took a look at Lucene's internals which only left me with the suspision that this is an impossible task. Would anyone, please, prove my suspision wrong?
