There is no *lucene* limitation of a 2GB index file. I've had no trouble with single indexes over 8G. If you're referring to this page... http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneFAQ?highlight=%282gb%29
then it's talking about an *operating system* limitation. So I wouldn't worry about this unless your op system is a problem. What are you running on?
