Hi, even with setExpungeDeletesPctAllowed(0.0), I could not get docs to 
get removed from disk. 
after the expunge+commit I print again the numDeletedDocs, and it stays 
the same.
regards,
vincent

Re: optimize with num segments > 1 index keeps growing






TieredMergePolicy by default will only merge a segment if it has > 10%
deletions.

Can you try calling .setExpungeDeletesPctAllowed(0.0) and then expunge 
again?
