Hi All-

I am just curious if someone could explain the difference between the
'index' folder and the 'indexes' folder inside the output directory of
the crawl?

I noticed that indexes have parts (though mine only has one part) but
index just contains the Lucene index.  My theory is that each part is
the result of a hadoop reduce task, and since I am only crawling with
one machine there is only the one part... And index is the merge of
those parts.. Am I correct or just creative?

Correct.

The motivation for my question is that I am trying to determine what
parts of the crawl need to be deployed to my searcher machines (I don't
use servlet searcher but a custom class using the Nutch API).  It looks
like it works with just 'index' and 'segments', but I want to be sure
that I should not be deploying 'indexes' instead/in-addition.

That's correct. NutchBean first tries to use "index", if it can't be found then it tries "indexes".
