Remind me, why do we have to update the segments file except at close? I'm sure there's a good reason, and that's central to this discussion.
If segments are removed because of a merge, a new reader coming along will have problems opening the index if the segments file isn't updated to reflect that. One could keep around all old segments until a close() but that would cost disk space. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
