</span>Sorry but I have to ask:<br>
<br>
How much memory have to got?<br>
(in-memory might be fine, but it's vague, are we talking GBytes,<br>
Mbytes, TeraBytes?)<br>
How many document/second do you want to index/search?<br>
How many words per document?<br>
How big in the corpus?<br>
What do you want to retrieve (name of file(s) where words occur?)<br>
Is the index write append only or must it be updatable<br>
Is the index replicated?<br>
Security?<br>
What at the input documents (text, html, pdf, ...)?<br>
What languages are the input documents in?<br>
<br>
Without stating your requirement it is impossible to give a good answer<br>
there is an incredible spectrum of answers.<br>
