I have a small (150) set of documents I'm doing some testing on. After I index them,
I have 46 files in the index directory. Then I find a subset, and for each I (a)
remove it from the index, (b) edit it, and (c) add it back into the index. The code
works fine.
However, the number of files in the index directory is mushrooming. Here's what
happens:
Edit/add/delete 5 documents - index files grow from 46 to 91
Edit/add/delete 5 documents - index files grow from 91 to 133
Edit/add/delete 5 documents - index files grow from 133 to 178
Each time the number of index files appears to grow by about 45. I then optimize and
the optimize returns immediately (which, from my experience, suggests that
optimization isn't needed - or perhaps isn't working?).
I eventually got to over 500 index files and ended up running out of file handles.
Is this normal?
Regards,
Terry
PS: I'm using 1.2Rc5
PSS: When I reindex, it goes back to about 46 files.
