Ajay, Here is another thread I started on the same issue.

I have around 90k documents sizing around 350 MB. Each document contains a record which has some text content. For each word in this text I want to store context for that word and index it so I am reading each document and for each word in that document I am appending fixed number of surrounding words. To do that first I search in existing indices if this word already exist and if it is then I get the content and append the new context and update the document. In case no context exist I create a document with fields "word" and "context" and add these two fields with values as word value and context value. I tried this in RAM but after certain no of docs it gave out of memory error so I thought to use FSDirectory method but surprisingly after 70k documents it also gave OOM error. I have enough disk space but still I am getting this error.I am not sure even for disk based indexing why its giving this error. I thought disk based indexing will be slow but atleast it will be scalable. Could someone suggest what could be the issue ?
