The following files are originally created files (upon an initial indexing):
_0.fdt _0.fdx _0.fnm _0.si _0_Lucene40_0.frq _0_Lucene40_0.prx _0_Lucene40_0.tim _0_Lucene40_0.tip _0_nrm.cfe _0_nrm.cfs index.v0008 segments.gen segments_1 But when I added a new document, in one case, I got several other files that got generated apart from the above: _0.fdt _0.fdx _0.fnm _0.si _0_Lucene40_0.frq _0_Lucene40_0.prx _0_Lucene40_0.tim _0_Lucene40_0.tip _0_nrm.cfe _0_nrm.cfs * _2.fdx // what is the significance of these _2 prefix files. _2.fnm _2.si _2_Lucene40_0.frq _2_Lucene40_0.prx _2_Lucene40_0.tim _2_Lucene40_0.tip _2_nrm.cfe _2_nrm.cfs* segments_3 Sometimes, it does create the _2 prefix files apart from incrementing the segement_<N> version. Could anyone please let me know why those files (_2 prefix files are there in the index directory) are generated in the first place and its importance/significance. I haven't seen it generated for other updates hence would like to understand the concept behind.
