--------------------------------------
Summary: Clearly document the limit for maximum number of
documents in a single index
Key: LUCENE-4104
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4104
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core/index
Affects Versions: 3.6
Reporter: Jack Krupansky
Priority: Minor
Although the "int" in a number of APIs strongly suggests the approximate limit
to the number of documents than can exist in a single Lucene index, it would be
useful to have the specific number more clearly documented.
My reading suggests that the limit is 2^31-2 so that the count of documents, 0
to 2^31-2, will fit in an int as Integer.MAX_INT or 2^31-1 or 2,147,483,647.
Symbolic definitions of the maximum document number and maximum number of
documents, as well as the first document number should also be provided.
A subsequent issue will be to detect and throw an exception when that limit is
exceeded.
