Hello, Let me give a brief description of my scenario. Today I am only using Lucene 2.9.3. I have an index of 30 million documents distributed on three machines and each machine with 6 hds (15k rmp). The server queries the search index using the remote class search. And each machine is made to search using the parallel search (search simultaneously in 6 hds). So during the search are simulating using the three machines and 18 hds, returning me to a very good response time.
Today I am studying the SOLR and am interested in knowing more about the searches and use of distributed parallel search on the same machine. What would be the best scenario using SOLR that is better than I already am using today only with lucene? Note: I need to have installed on each machine 6 SOLR instantiate from my server? One for each hd? Or would some other alternative way for me to use the 6 hds without having 6 instances of SORL server? Another question would be if the SOLR would have some limiting size index for Hard drive? It would be interesting not index too big because when the index increased the longer the search. Thanks for everything. Gustavo Maia
