Yes. You have too many open files. There are a few things you can try. 1) Increase the number of file handles your system has available. Yes, there is a setting for this in Windows. 2) Make sure that you have the IndexWriter.maxMergeDocs set to Integer.MAX_VALUE (the default). 3) Try smaller values for IndexWriter.mergeFactor (default is 10). 4) When all else fails, do all your indexing in memory and then write it out to disk when you're done. Doug posted an example of this just a couple days ago.
