Hi, Sure not. We created another IndexWriter class and modified its function addIndexes (if I remember the function name correctly) so it will not call to optimize at the end - that's all. Having unique segment names was necessary because the segment file name is used inside the file itself, and cannot be changed on the fly.

You just copy your uniquely-named segments in the index directory and manually modify the "segments" file to list all copied segments?
