Rob, Here are some ideas.
1. Which version of Lucene are you using? HEAD from CVS? If so, FSDirectory was patched recently (renameSomething method), make sure there is no bug in it. 2. IndexReader/IndexWriter allow you to set the stream for logging (can't remember the method name now). Those classes will then print out what they are doing to that stream. 3. Write a simple class that opens your index before any queries are made and prints out the number of documents, the number of terms, etc. Then run your queries, and run the application again and see if the numbers are different. 4. Do as in 3, but run 1 single query. Observe difference between pre and post-query numbers. Run another query. Observe the difference in numbers again. Is there a pattern? 5. To make sure it's not some background process adding documents, run your application (from 3.) twice, but without querying the index, just waiting some time between runs.
