[pylucene-dev] pylucene and recommendations for RAM

[David Pratt]

I am interested in general advice on running a server for indexing only. 
I would appreciate recommendations for RAM requirements based on your 
experiences.

I realize that the amount of RAM needed will be based on the size of the 
index, how many documents and what you are storing in the index itself - 
but some anecdotal information would be helpful. I am looking at an 
index that could reach 20 - 50 million documents. Will a commodity 
server with 2Gb be enough?

I guess it is possible to build a test index with sample data to 
determine this also. Many thanks.

Regards,
David
