My understanding it that you don't even have to optimize the index, unless you want your searches to be faster. I don't think Lucene has any internal limitation to the number of files that comprise an unoptimized index, so you'll hit the wall with Java or OS first, but even that limit is pretty high. You could just optimize every X documents or at the end of indexing.
