: exactly the same as how I insert them. Lucene is supposed to maintain : document order, even across index merges, correct?
Lucene definitely maintains index order for document additions -- but i don't know if any similar claim has been made about merging whole indexes. : this until I'm done with all of the documents. Then, as a last step, I : open up a new empty index, and I call addIndexes(Directory[]) - and I : pass in the directories in the same order that I created them. ... : The problem that I am seeing right now, is that when I look into my : large combined index with Luke, Document number 899 is the 899th : document that I added. However, Document 900 is the 49860th document : that I added. This continues until Document 910, where it suddenly : jumps to the 99720th document. As I said, i'm not sure if it's a bug or undefined behavior, but can you post a self contained JUnit test demonstrating this? -- that way people can look at exactly what is going on (if it is a bug). -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
