Right. I meant only for adding a lot of documents. After a lot of adds, then you could set the mergefactor back down to a reasonable level and optimize the index. > if I change this method to only check for > directory.makeLock(IndexWriter.COMMIT_LOCK_NAME).isLocked(); will this tell > me that a index is merging? Yes, the commit lock will be locked when merging is going on, but you will get some false positives because the lock is used for other purposes. That may still fit your need though. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
