Maybe mostly 1K, but you only need 1 very large doc to cause a problem. I haven't been following this thread, so apologies if I've missed things, but you seem to be having problems running what should be a simple job of the sort that lucene handles every day without breaking sweat.
Does it always fail on the same doc or after indexing the same number of docs? What exactly is the exception and stack trace? Are you sure the problem is with your lucene calls, not something else you are doing in the same program? Cutting things down to the smallest, simplest possible standalone program or test case that demonstrates the problem often helps. If you do that and can't find the problem yourself, post the code here along with the stack trace and details such as how many docs it processes before failure and the size of the doc it fails on. -- Ian.
