The trick is that once segment files are written, they are never modified (except for the "segments" file itself). New documents are added to new segments, not existing segments. When segments are merged, a new bigger segment is created. This way, the view of the index for a specific IndexReader will never change. -Yonik http://incubator.apache.org/solr Solr, The Open Source Lucene Search Server --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
