Re: [Exist-open] Organizing large collection

[Adam R. <ad...@ex...>]

If you need to search all the documents each time, then it is most
performant to have them in a single collection to avoid locking overhead
between collections. If you only need to search a subset each time, and you
can divide them by collection and just search one (or a few collections)
this could be faster, but you would need to benchmark based on your own
corpus and search requirements.
