Hello everyone!
Here are the conclusions we got after digging more into the problem,
maybe they help someone:
1) Filling of the hard-drive was not due to java 64, this was
coincidentally.
2) The intermediate files Yonik talked about (*.f*) were present because
the indexing process was
machine used to manage the index was on
32 bits, although the program was running on a 64bits station. Last week
we changed the java to 64 bits and since then we experience strange
problems, the index grows very large. I'm not sure the 2 are related,
that's why I ask here: is it possible that the index
on a 64bits station. Last week
we changed the java to 64 bits and since then we experience strange
problems, the index grows very large. I'm not sure the 2 are related,
that's why I ask here: is it possible that the index got corrupted
after we updated the jvm? Is there any relation between the size
1) make sure the failure was due to an OutOfMemory exception and not
something else.
2) if you have enough memory, increase the max JVM heap size (-Xmx)
3) if you don't need more than 1.5G or so of heap, use the 32 bit JVM
instead (depending on architecture, it can acutally be a little faster

Hi everybody!
We have a large Lucene index which gets updated very often.
Until recently the java virtual machine used to manage the index was on
32 bits, although the program was running on a 64bits station. Last week
we changed the java to 64 bits and since then we experience strange
