The purpose of these user-submitted performance figures is to
|
|
|
|
|
give current and potential users of Lucene a sense
|
|
|
|
|
of how well Lucene scales. If the requirements for an upcoming
|
|
|
|
|
project is similar to an existing benchmark, you
|
|
|
|
|
will also have something to work with when designing the system
|
|
|
|
|
architecture for the application.

If you've conducted performance tests with Lucene, we'd

|
|
|
|
appreciate if you can submit these figures for display

A windows client ran a random document generator which
|
|
|
|
|
created
|
|
|
|
|
documents based on some arrays of values and an excerpt
|
|
|
|
|
(approx 1kb)
|
|
|
|
|
from a text file of the bible (King James version).<br />
|
|
|
|
|
These were submitted via a socket connection (open throughout
|
|
|
|
|
indexing process).<br />
|
|
|
|
|
The index writer was not closed between index calls.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
This created a 400Mb index in 23 files (after
|
|
|
|
|
optimization).<br />

This is using Peter Halacsy's IndexSearcherCache slightly

modified to

be a singleton returned cached searchers for a given

solved an initial problem with too many files open and

running out of

|
analyzing them and the pushing them onto a queue and a single

them from the queue and indexing. Note that we are indexing

|
|

email messages
|
|
|
|
|
and are storing the entire plaintext in of the message in the
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
message contains attachment and we do not have a filter for
|
|
|
|

the attachment
|
|
|
|
|
(ie. we do not do PDFs yet), we discard the data.

My disclaimer is that this is a very poor "Benchmark". It was not done for raw speed,
|
|
|
|
|
nor was the total index built in one shot. The index was created on several different
|
|
|
|
|
machines (all with these specs, or very similar), with each machine indexing batches of 500,000 to
|
|
|
|
|
1 million documents per batch. Each of these small indexes was then moved to a
|
|
|
|
|
much larger drive, where they were all merged together into a big index.
|
|
|
|
|
This process was done manually, over the course of several months, as the sources became available.

The source documents were XML. The "indexer" opened each document one at a time, ran an
|
|
|
|
|
XSL transformation on them, and then proceeded to index the stream. The indexer optimized
|
|
|
|
|
the index every 50,000 documents (on this run) though previously, we optimized every
|
|
|
|
|
300,000 documents. The performance didn't change much either way. We did no other
|
|
|
|
|
tuning (RAM Directories, separate process to pretransform the source material, etc)
|
|
|
|
|
to make it index faster. When all of these individual indexes were built, they were
|
|
|
|
|
merged together into the main index. That process usually took ~ a day.

I'm doing a technical evaluation of search engines
|
|
|
|
|
for Ariba, an enterprise application software company.
|
|
|
|
|
I compared Lucene to a commercial C language based
|
|
|
|
|
search engine which I'll refer to as vendor A.
|
|
|
|
|
Overall Lucene's performance was similar to vendor A
|
|
|
|
|
and met our application's requirements. I've
|
|
|
|
|
summarized our results below.
|
|
|

|

|
Search scalability:<br />
|
|
|
|
|
We ran a set of 16 queries in a single thread for 20
|
|
|
|
|
iterations. We report below the times for the last 15
|
|
|
|
|
iterations (ie after the system was warmed up). The
|
|
|
|
|
4 sets of results below are for indexes with between
|
|
|
|
|
50,000 documents to 600,000 documents. Although the
|
|
|
|
|
times for Lucene grew faster with document count than
|
|
|
|
|
vendor A they were comparable.

Individual Query times:<br />
|
|
|
|
|
Total query times are very similar between the 2
|
|
|
|
|
systems but there were larger differences when you
|
|
|
|
|
looked at individual queries.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
For simple queries with small result sets Vendor A was
|
|
|
|
|
consistently faster than Lucene. For example a
|
|
|
|
|
single query might take vendor A 32 thousands of a
|
|
|
|
|
second and Lucene 64 thousands of a second. Both
|
|
|
|
|
times are however well within acceptable response
|
|
|
|
|
times for our application.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
For simple queries with large result sets Vendor A was
|
|
|
|
|
consistently slower than Lucene. For example a
|
|
|
|
|
single query might take vendor A 300 thousands of a
|
|
|
|
|
second and Lucene 200 thousands of a second.
|
|
|
|
|
For more complex queries of the form (term1 or term2
|
|
|
|
|
or term3) AND (term4 or term5 or term6) AND (term7 or
|
|
|
|
|
term8) the results were more divergent. For
|
|
|
|
|
queries with small result sets Vendor A generally had
|
|
|
|
|
very short response times and sometimes Lucene had
|
|
|
|
|
significantly larger response times. For example
|
|
|
|
|
Vendor A might take 16 thousands of a second and
|
|
|
|
|
Lucene might take 156. I do not consider it to be
|
|
|
|
|
the case that Lucene's response time grew unexpectedly
|
|
|
|
|
but rather that Vendor A appeared to be taking
|
|
|
|
|
advantage of an optimization which Lucene didn't have.
|
|
|
|
|
(I believe there's been discussions on the dev
|
|
|
|
|
mailing list on complex queries of this sort.)

Index Size:<br />
|
|
|
|
|
For our test data the size of both indexes grew
|
|
|
|
|
linearly with the number of documents. Note that
|
|
|
|
|
these sizes are compact sizes, not maximum size during
|
|
|
|
|
index loading. The numbers below are from running du
|
|
|
|
|
-k in the directory containing the index data. The
|
|
|
|
|
larger number's below for Vendor A may be because it
|
|
|
|
|
supports additional functionality not available in
|
|
|
|
|
Lucene. I think it's the constant rate of growth
|
|
|
|
|
rather than the absolute amount which is more
|
|
|
|
|
important.

Indexing Times:<br />
|
|
|
|
|
These times are for reading the documents from our
|
|
|
|
|
database, processing them, inserting them into the
|
|
|
|
|
document search product and index compacting. Our
|
|
|
|
|
data has a large number of fields/attributes. For
|
|
|
|
|
this test I restricted Lucene to 24 attributes to
|
|
|
|
|
reduce the number of files created. Doing this I was
|
|
|
|
|
able to specify a merge width for Lucene of 60. I
|
|
|
|
|
found in general that Lucene indexing performance to
|
|
|
|
|
be very sensitive to changes in the merge width.
|
|
|
|
|
Note also that our application does a full compaction
|
|
|
|
|
after inserting every 20,000 documents. These times
|
|
|
|
|
are just within our acceptable limits but we are
|
|
|
|
|
interested in alternatives to increase Lucene's
|
|
|
|
|
performance in this area.

(I don't have accurate results for all sizes on this
|
|
|
|
|
measure but believe that the indexing time for both
|
|
|
|
|
solutions grew essentially linearly with size. The
|
|
|
|
|
time to compact the index generally grew with index
|
|
|
|
|
size but it's a small percent of overall time at these
|
|
|
|
|
sizes.)
