the situation where i saw this was effectively committing after every document update (i know, not good practice, but it is what it is) also, i hold onto the same IW for the life of the vm (i've always found closing and reopening IW's while feeding to be very messy and result in issues, especially if disk space is low, etc) within the span of a day or less, memory would grow to a very noticeable size just due to the synch hash map

i've been using the lucene-2328 patch on lucene 3.0.2 for some time now with no issue obviously, i would like to back out my custom overlays (and not have to port them to 3.0.3)

the memory leak grows based on the number of commits
if you are doing extremely frequent commits, the memory leak becomes a
sizable loss that cannot be reclaimed without restarting and may require
restarting the vm on a daily basis
Closing&  opening a new IW also reclaims the memory?

How frequently do you commit?
