Class MultiPassIndexSplitter

This tool splits input index into multiple equal parts. The method employed here uses AddIndexes(IndexReader[]) where the input data comes from the input index with artificially applied deletes to the document id-s that fall outside the selected partition.

Note 1: Deletes are only applied to a buffered list of deleted docs and don't affect the source index - this tool works also with read-only indexes.

Note 2: the disadvantage of this tool is that source index needs to be read as many times as there are parts to be created, hence the name of this tool.

NOTE: this tool is unaware of documents added atomically via or , which means it can easily break up such document groups.

Split(LuceneVersion, IndexReader, Directory[], Boolean)

Split source index into multiple parts.

Declaration

public virtual void Split(LuceneVersion version, IndexReader in, Directory[] outputs, bool seq)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
LuceneVersion	version	lucene compatibility version
IndexReader	in	source index, can have deletions, can have multiple segments (or multiple readers).
Directory[]	outputs	list of directories where the output parts will be stored.
System.Boolean	seq	if true, then the source index will be split into equal increasing ranges of document id-s. If false, source document id-s will be assigned in a deterministic round-robin fashion to one of the output splits.
