Hi Shawn, Thanks for the long explanation. Now 2 Billion limit can be overcome by using shard.
Now coming back to collection.Unless we have a logical or Business reason we should not go for more than one collection. Lets say i have 5 different entities and they have each 10,20,30,40 and 50 attributes(Columns) to be indexed/stored. Now if i store them in single collection.is there any ways empty spaces being created. On other way if i store heterogeneous data items in a single collection, Does by any means there is a poor utilization of memory by creation of empty holes. What are the pros and cons of single vs Multiple. Thanks team for spending your valuable time to clarify. Regards Neo -- Sent from: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-User-f472068.html
