Tom, Not sure which one would be better for you. It would be easy for you to test that, though. My guess would be that a single index will work better.
To merge indices, create a new instance of FSDirectory. Directory dir = new FSDirectory("/path/to/new/index"); Then create an array of your 27 indices (something like the above, but add it to an array of Directory[] type, and use a different path for each of your 27 dirs in the ctor above) and pass it to addIndexes method, like this: dir.addIndexes(yourDirectoryArray); The 'dir' is the 'dir' from above.
