Use the following minimum NODESIZE values depending on the length of your keys:
Key Length in Bytes
Minimum NODESIZE Value in Bytes
Less than 51
512
51 through 100
1024
101 through 512
4096
513 through 4080
16384
Properties:
Default:
The minimum NODESIZE value for the key length, except that for key lengths less than 50 bytes, the default is 1024.
Comments:
In most circumstances you should allow the File Handler to work out the appropriate default node size. However, if file size is an issue, smaller node sizes do result in a smaller index file, but you should be aware that they also increase processing time as the tree depth is greater.
