Hi all, Having read the SolrPerformanceFactors wiki page [1], I'd still need a couple of clarifications about mergeFactor (I am using version 1.4.1) so if anyone can help it would be nice.
- Is mergeFactor a one time configuration setting that is considered only when creating the index for the first time or can it be adjusted later even with some docs inside the index? e.g. I have mF to 10 then I realize I want quicker searches and I set it to 2 so that at the next optimize/commit I will have no more than 2 segments. My understanding is that one can adjust mF over time, is it right? - In a replicated environment does it make sense to define different mergeFactors on master and slave? I'd say no since it influences the number of segments created, that being a concern of who actually index documents (the master) not of who receives (segments of) index, but please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for your help, Regards, Tommaso [1] : http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPerformanceFactors
