Actually, in previous versions of Lucene, it *was* possible to get way too many first level segments because of the wonky logic when the IndexWriter was closed. That has been fixed in the trunk with the new merge policy, and you will never see more than mergeFactor first level segments.
Ahhh, OK. Suman, it seems likely that this is what you are hitting. Since you are planning on trying the nightly build of Lucene with the fix for LUCENE-729 (now committed), can you watch & see if indeed you no longer see 5000+ segments being created? Would be nice to be sure that this is in fact the cause of your 5000+ segments.
