Large Lookups, Max number of look up rows?

[clyde772]

Any Gurus have experience with a large lookup table? For example my lookup table seems to be 3 GB worth of line that contains all the phone users. Which I am trying to lookup a user name with an id / phone number.

I have to lookup so many records, because the table is too large. What is the suggested way to lookup a large number of records?

Have you seen the KV Store in Splunk? for a 3GB file you may benefit from leveraging splunk KV store. http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAEY7
