MarkLogic Performance on Windws vs Linux

For our project, we are setting up MarkLogic cluster on Azure.

Is there any major performance difference when it comes to Windows or Linux ?

It would be great if there are any reference links for the same

I have done installation and configuration on both, in real terms it does not matter while setting up.

So want to know from performance perspective, does it really matters?

Workload

  • Current size >15M XML files which needs to be loaded into MarkLogic
  • Weekly 18K xml files will be ingested
Solution

  • In general, no. There are some minor performance differences, but it depends on your specific workload. For those edge cases, my understanding is that Linux will typically edge out Windows. But focusing on application design best practices and query optimization is significantly more important than the host OS.
