If you use the compound format, all "files" are kept inside a single
filesystem file.

So, if I use one indexwriter instance to index one document, will
it create
a segment per document?
How many files per segment get added if I use compound index file
format?
Thanks,

If you use the compound index file format (the default since Lucene
1.4) you'll avoid the file descriptors issue. If you add 10
documents at one time with a single IndexWriter, you will not create
10 segments, only one segment (generally speaking, based on the
default segment factors).

Hello all,
In my application it is required to build an index for each
user. We need
to add documents to the existing index frequently.
We cannot use RAMDirectory to create a RAM index and merge it
with the
FSDirectory index later on based on the mergefactor. We need to add
each
document in the FSDirectory based index.
We are afraid of getting into the "out of file descriptors" issue ,
so my
question is, does lucene create a segment for each document that
gets added
to the FS based index i.e. will adding 10 documents to the existing
index
create 10 segments?
Thanks,
John
