Thanks Hugh. Yes, I tried using Luke for index optimization. Surprisingly, it has brought down the index size to ~20 GB with only one CFS and segment files left behind. I used compound optimization option. But I use the similar "SetUseCompoundFile" property on "IndexModifier" object in my Lucene.NET code, but it has no effect on size or files after optimization. Any suggestions??

As soon as you use it to open the index, it tidies up all the cruft.
