Hi , The default Index file creation format in 3.6.1 [migrating from 1.3] in-spite of setting the usecompoundfile to true seems to be to create non compound files due to Lucene 2790<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2790> .
I have tried the following ,but everything seems to create non compound files .. - set compound file format to true - used the TieredMergePolicy, did not change maxMergeAtOnce and segmentsPerTier. - switched back to LogByteSizeMergePolicy but this also creates non compound files We are in a situation where we have several cores and hence several indexes ,and do not want to run into too many open files error. What can be done to switch to compound file format from the beginning or will this TiredMergepolicy lead us to too many open files eventually? Regards Sujatha
