I have noticed some strange behavior when searching my lucene index.
I'm adding 500.000 docs to an index.
MergeFactor = 10
MinMerge = 5000
When 49999 have been added ( just before the first 10 * 5000 merge ) the
hits.length() is reporting around 1000 hits for a keyword (which by the
way is around the same count as with 5000 docs added). After the 10*5000
merge the hits.length() returns around 8000 hits, which seems to be a
lot more reasonable. Since I'm adding content in date order ( oldest
first ) I have also tried to sort the hits (newest date first) and
display the top 10 hits.
According to that output it seems that the documents are added
correctly.
I'm using a multisearcher on top of a RAMDir and an FSDir. Using
Lucene1.4.3
Anybody that has any idea about why the hit count is so misleading?
