Hi, Have you read http://blog.thetaphi.de/2012/07/use-lucenes-mmapdirectory-on-64bit.html ? Especially the last part about configuring your system correctly for mmap is important. Mmap can handle index files with hundreds of Gigabytes on systems with less physical RAM, you just have to define the ulimit settings correctly.
