Hello all, In my application it is required to build an index for each user. We need to add documents to the existing index frequently. We cannot use RAMDirectory to create a RAM index and merge it with the FSDirectory index later on based on the mergefactor. We need to add each document in the FSDirectory based index. We are afraid of getting into the "out of file descriptors" issue , so my question is, does lucene create a segment for each document that gets added to the FS based index i.e. will adding 10 documents to the existing index create 10 segments?
Thanks, John
