Jack Krupansky commented on LUCENE-4104:
----------------------------------------
I propose to add these constants to IndexWriter:
static final int MAX_DOCUMENT_NUMBER = Integer.MAX_VALUE - 1;
static final int MIN_DOCUMENT_NUMBER = 0;
static final int MAX_DOCUMENT_COUNT = MAX_DOCUMENT_NUMBER - MIN_DOCUMENT_NUMBER
+ 1;
And add these to IndexReader for convenience:
static final int MAX_DOCUMENT_NUMBER = IndexWriter.MAX_DOCUMENT_NUMBER;
static final int MIN_DOCUMENT_NUMBER = IndexWriter.MIN_DOCUMENT_NUMBER;
static final int MAX_DOCUMENT_COUNT = IndexWriter.MAX_DOCUMENT_COUNT;
Add to the IndexWriter class javadoc at the class level and in the addDocument,
addDocuments, and maybe updateDocuments methods:
"NOTE: the maximum number of documents in a single Lucene index is defined by
MAX_DOCUMENT_COUNT which is 2,147,483,647 in the current implementation, but in
practice that number will be reduced by deleted documents and may not be
achievable with available memory in the JVM."
> 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.
