Generating and using a customized index
Abstract:
In various embodiments, systems and methods are provided for generating and using a customized index. In embodiments, an index structure is constructed to efficiently utilize machines containing index portions. In this regard, the index structure for a particular application is customizable such that a number of virtual index units for a particular index type and/or a number of machines associated with the virtual index units for the particular index type can be optimized for machine and/or system performance and efficiency. Utilizing the constructed index structure, documents can be distributed to various index units, virtual index units, and/or machines in real-time or near real-time. Further, the customized index structure can be used to efficiently serve search results in response to search queries.
