Is this a testcase (using the solrconfig.xml from the test directory)? If so, I recently changed the settings to create more segments - too many cases were resulting in a single segment, which isn't as good for test coverage. > e.g. have a mergeFactor of 10, but 18 segments in the index. mergeFactor 10 means a maximum of 10 segments at each "level". if maxBufferedDocs=10 with a log doc merge policy (equivalent to Lucene in the old days), then you could have up to ~ 10*log10(nDocs) segments in the index (i.e. up to 60 segments for a 1M doc index). -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
