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.

Thanks,
Sai.
