Thanks for the feed back Chris. Can you (or someone else on the list) tell me about the IndexMerge tool?

Is there a reason why a 22 day index would : be 10x the size of an 8 day index when the document indexing rate is : fairly constant? Also, is there a way to shrink the index without : regenerating it? did you run CheckIndex after it failed to optimize the first time? the failure may have left old temp files arround that aren't actually part of the index but are taking up space. (Actually: does CheckIndex warn about unused files in the index directory so people can clean them up? i'm not sure) If all else fails: try using the IndexMerge tool to merge you existing index into an empty index, and see how big that new index is -- that tool will definitely only merge data in that's actually part of the index. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
