Hi, I have been using Lucene in a production enviroment now for about a year, using version 1.1. I had moved across to the 1.2 release, but as the result of this the number of file handles that were needed increased dramatically.
A quick look at some trace from the OS indicated that when the Index was opened, all the files in the directory were opened. I suspect that this is done to improve performance for various searches etc. Does anyone have any suggestions as a way around. I am already aware of the obvious things: Increasing the No Available to the Program. Reducing the no of files created ( mergeFactor etc) Optimising the index more often.
