Hi, I am using lucene in my project built in java. I am writing the index to a file using FSDirectory.open("c:\\temp").
Every hour boundary I need to re-index the complete system. But if I use the same directory "c:\\temp" for re-indexing, the directory size will grow eventually because of new segments being created every hour. Does lucene provide a clean way for handling this or would I have to handle it in my application by having new index location. Please let me know and Thanks in advance for the help!
