since it's file system based index I don't see any limitations other than OS max file size, and Imagine if you're data is 3 Terabytes you have monster machines with monster memory (you'll need it) also you'll need to max up the file handle set up on the OS and probably use a high MERGE_FACTOR.

Can it handle up to 3 Terrabytes, how large are the indexes it creates, (1/2 the size of the data)?
