>>But... how come setting IW's RAM buffer doesn't prevent the OOMs?
I've been setting the IndexWriter RAM buffer to 300 meg and giving the JVM
1gig.
Last run I gave the JVM 3 gig, with writer settings of RAM buffer=300 meg,
merge factor=20, term interval=8192, usecompound=false. All fields are
ANALYZED_NO_NORMS.
Lucene version is a 2.9 build, JVM is Sun 64bit 1.6.0_07.
This graphic shows timings for 100 consecutive write sessions, each adding
30,000 documents, committing and then closing :

You can see the periodic merge costs and then a big spike towards the end
before it crashed.
The crash details are here after adding ~3 million documents in 98 write
sessions:
This batch index session added 3000 of 30000 docs : 10% complete

For each write session I have a single writer, and 2 indexing threads adding
documents through this writer. There are no updates/deletes - only adds. When
both indexing threads complete the primary thread commits and closes the writer.
I then open a searcher run some search benchmarks, close the searcher and start
another write session.
The documents have ~12 fields and are all the same size so I don't think this
OOM is down to rogue data. Each field has 100 near-unique tokens.

Any ideas? I'm out of settings to tweak here.

I think that setting won't change how much RAM is used when writing.

Number of net unique terms (across all fields) is a big driver, but also net
number of term occurrences, and how many docs. Lots of tiny docs take more RAM
than fewer large docs, when # occurrences are equal.
But... how come setting IW's RAM buffer doesn't prevent the OOMs? IW should
simply flush when it's used that much RAM.
I don't think number of segments is a factor.
Though mergeFactor is, since during merging the SegmentMerger holds
SegmentReaders open, and int[] maps (if there are any deletes) for each
segment. Do you have a large merge taking place when you hit the OOMs?
