Hi Obviously my question is, is that normal? To have so many files? I was indexing 6 string fields from 25000+ model records (all of the same model). The index appears to be working. I guess I was expecting a few hundred files after optimzing, not more files that records indexed.
Please understand I am brand spanking new to Lucene, Ferret, and AaF. I was using acts_as_ferret with :fields => ["user_id", "answer1", "answer2", "answer3", "answer4", "answer5", "answer6"], :merge_factor => 1000, :max_merge_document = 10000, :max_memory_buffer =>0x4000000 The fields are from 15 to 500 characters long. Also, was there any way to stop AaF from trying to create a new index with all the existing model data? I was surprised when after creating and updating one model object in the Rails Console, AaF took off trying to index all 8 million rows of the underlying table! I did search here on 'too many files' and "large number of files" but came up empty. I am sure my lack of domain knowledge is most likely what is hurting me.
