Ryan, We currently have 8-9 million documents to index and this number will grow in the future. Also, we will never have a query that will search across groups, but, we will have queries that will search across sub-groups for sure. Now, keeping this in mind we were thinking if we could have multiple indexes at the 'group' level at least. Also, can multiple indexes be created dynamically? For example: In my application if I create a 'logical group', then an index should be created for that group.

If so, then you have to stick everything in one index. You can add a field to each document saying what 'group' or 'sub-group' it is in and then limit it at query time q="kittens +group:A" The advantage to splitting it into multiple indexes is that you could put each index on independent hardware. Depending on your queries and index size that may make a big difference. ryan Rishabh Joshi wrote: > Hi, > > I have a requirement and was wondering if someone could help me in how to go > about it.
