Thanks for the reply. The backup of the index on disc is around 80 MB. I'm giving my JVM 4 gigs of heap space... I probably should have mentioned in my first thread that this is not the first crash; it's done it a few times now and usually has almost a week of uptime before it crashes even with the growing index. (last time it crashed the index was about 60MB on disc) It's also worth noting I am only going to keep around 4 weeks of ticket data and I'm adding week 5 right now, so the index should be relatively close to this size "forever", although rather rapidly changing.
I think *something* is holding onto those terms... just not sure what. =\ ----- Original Message ---- From: Grant Ingersoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Monday, December 10, 2007 2:24:58 PM Subject: Re: Out of memory? Those terms could be coming from a lot of diff. places. What size JVM heap, etc. are you giving your application? My guess is your index is too big to fit into RAM, you probably need to use a FSDirectory or give it more RAM, but it is hard to say for sure w/o knowing more about the application. See http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/BasicsOfPerformance for more on performance. -Grant On Dec 10, 2007, at 2:56 PM, Bob Daha wrote: > Hello, > > I'm building a ticketing system for my company and am using Lucene > for some of the more complicated queries.
