Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-2420:
------------------------------------
That documentation discusses the limitation around the number of unique terms
Lucene can handle, which sums up to ~274 billion: "_which means the maximum
number of *unique terms* in any single index segment is ~2.1 billion times the
term index interval (default 128) = ~274 billion_".
One line below this you can find this documentation: "_Similarly, Lucene uses a
Java int to refer to document numbers, and the index file format uses an Int32
on-disk to store document numbers_" which suggests the Integer.MAX_VAL
limitation ... but I agree it could have been spelled out more clearly.
If numDocsInStore is negative, SegmentFieldsWriter.flush() doesn't do anything
... you mean that that code should throw the exception?

> Components: Index
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Environment: CentOS 5.4
> Reporter: Steven Bethard

> I just saw the following error:
> java.lang.RuntimeException: after flush: fdx size mismatch: -512764976 docs
> vs 30257618564 length in bytes of _0.fdx file exists?=true

> Note the negative SegmentWriteState.numDocsInStore. I assume this is because
> Lucene has a limit of 2 ^ 31 - 1 = 2147483647 (sizeof(int)) documents per
> index, though I couldn't find this documented clearly anywhere. It would have
> been nice to get this error earlier, back when I exceeded the limit, rather
> than now, after a bunch of indexing that was apparently doomed to fail.
> Hence, two suggestions:
> * State clearly somewhere that the maximum number of documents in a Lucene
> index is sizeof(int).
> * Throw an exception when an IndexWriter first exceeds this number rather
> than only on close.
