Hi, I have an index very big, with 337 G more or less. I am using Solr 4.2. The problem we have is related with the size of segments: this is the size of the biggest ones: 324 G, 3.7G, 3.6 G, 1.6 G, 1.6 G, 465 M ... We have LogByteSizeMergePolicy with 10 as MergeFactor in our solrconfig.
Really the issue is not a problem, but at least I would like to know why my segments have this size. According with I have read in papers, if I have a MergeFactor of 10 each level within the index should be one order of magnitude bigger than previously. So , I can't understand why I have a segment of 324 G while the others are only of 3 G, this is 2 orders of magnitude bigger. Is this correct or it is a problem with my index? Where can I read a good explanation about the Merge Policy? Thank you very much, Regards, David Dávila AEAT
