thanks for this hint, Andrew! It is the merge-factor. A comprehensive description can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/lucene-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg00373.html.
The quick hack: Look in SimpleLuceneCocoonIndexerImpl.java for the constant MERGE_FACTOR_DEFAULT = 20. Lower the value. I set it to 10. Indexing about 2000 files now works fine. /Leo On Monday, April 8, 2002, at 02:01 Uhr, Andrew C. Oliver wrote: > This sounds like your index merge factor. > > On Mon, 2002-04-08 at 03:26, Nader S.
