FAQ: "Why do I have a deletable file (and old segment files remain) after running optimize?" 2) http://people.apache.org/~hossman/#java-dev Please Use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Not "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Your question is better suited for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list ... not the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. java-dev is for discussing development of the internals of the Lucene Java library ... it is *not* the appropriate place to ask questions about how to use the Lucene Java library when developing your own applications. If you have further questions about this topic, please send them to the java-user mailing list, where you are likely to get more/better responses since that list also has a larger number of subscribers. : I managed to optimize my index successfully. The problem that I'm having now : is when I check the index using Lucene Index Toolbox there are a few files : in the index itself is deletable. I understand that optimize method will : merge the index files but How come there is still deletable index files in : it? What I do now is delete it manually. Is there by any chance that I can : delete it automatically? Any code that I can refer to? -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
