I know this has been covered a number of time before but I am still confused.
I am using all the default values for IndexWriter when writing my index. I loop over all my documents 1000 at a time. For each 1000 I open an index writer, write each document, optimize the index, then close the index writer. The problems comes about in the second 1000. Somewhere in writing the second 1000 I start to get a Too many files open exception. What I don't understand is why I can write the first 1000 with no problem, optimize and close the writer and then have a problem the next time around. As an aside I am running redhat and I run 'limit descriptor' and see that it is set to 1024. Anyone have any idea if this is to low or if there is a recommended value?
