See IndexWriter#addIndexesNoOptimize, released with 2.1. Note that it doesn't optimize before or after, so if you want an optimize at the end, you need to ask for it manually.

So as the index size grows , optimize method will only increase by indexing time Can these lines be commented out and call the optimize method only at the end of indexing process? Your thoughts please Thanks Chandan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
