Hi, We use dotlucene-1.9 for indexing in our desktop search tool. Recently one user complained about lots of temporary files in his index, see the list at the end of this email. As you will see, there are the cfs files (and correctly referenced in the segments file) but then there are lots of fdt/fnm/fdx files and a bunch from the latest run too. The prefixes of the f* files do not appear in the segments file, so could it be that the process somehow crashed during indexing but before being able to merge them to the corresponding cfs file ? What does lucene do with the leftover f* files in such cases ? Or it is the applications responsbility to remove the temporary files. The user did not report any kind of crash while indexing, so is there any other crazy possibility ? We do an Optimize() after the indexing is over - so anything could go wrong in that ?
