Can you show us the code where you commit? And how do you kill your process? Kill -9 is...er...harsh....
Yeah, I'm wondering whether the index file size *stays* changed after you kill you process. If it keeps its growing on every run (after you kill your process multiple times), then I'd suspect that you aren't adding documents like you think you are. Perhaps different fields, different analyzers, etc. Luke should show you the largest document by ID, as well as document counts. Comparing changes in the document count and the max doc ID should tell you something... Is it possible that you are updating existing docs rather than adding new ones?
