Sachin, A lof of the questions you are asking are covered either in the FAQ or on the Lucene site somewhere, or in various Lucene articles or in LIA. You should check those places first (the traffic on java-user is already high!), you'll save yourself a lot of time. For this particular question, have a look at the File Formats page on Lucene's site.

If so what is the recommendation in this case? Is it better to span after the index reaches a particular size? Furthermore, does Lucene ever span a single record between two or more index files in this case or does it ensure that a single record will only appear in one spanned file?
