[Dovecot] fts size
Does anybody have any numbers for how large storage one will need for the fts indexing server? I see the wiki says 30% of mailbox size for Squat (partial=4 full=4). Is it similar for lucene/solr?
Do I understand correctly if I think http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Lucene will create an index for each user in his home directory? Will this be accounted for in the users' quota?

My initial tests for CLucene were that it would take 30% of mailbox size (compared to 50% for Xapian). But this was before I actually implemented it to Dovecot.. I haven't really looked at how large the indexes actually are.
Looking at Lucene indexes now for all of Dovecot and Dovecot-cvs mailing list archives, the indexes are 29.1% of the original mbox sizes.

Yes.

Only if you're using filesystem quota.

Did you ever make an fts_xapian plugin, Timo? I've looked into Xapian as an alternative to the solr codebase, mainly out of a dislike of java and its downstream technologies.

No, but I can help you with any questions if you want to try implementing it, and even finish it if you get at least the basic index/search functionality working. You can use v2.1's fts-lucene as a start.

That sounds like a great deal to me! I'm glad you're still interested enough in it.

Having more choices is always good. :)
