about merge factor

[maureen tanuwidjaja]

Hi all,
  
  I just wondering wheter is it sensible and possible if I have 660,000  
documents to be indexed,I set the merge factor to 660,000 instead of  the 
default value 10 (...and this means no merge while indexing) and  later after 
closing the index,I use the IndexWriter to optimize/merge  the whole index 
file...
  
  
  Thanks and Regards,
  Maureen
