Hi The IndexMergeTool (see url below) creates a new index, the "mergedIndex".
Do the other indexes, "index1", "index2", etc, need to be closed before performing the merge? This is the same as asking if the indexes passed to IndexWriter.addIndexes need to be closed before they are added to the new index. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/contrib/miscellaneous/src/java/org/apache/lucene/misc/IndexMergeTool.java Thanks for your help, Patrick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
