I have never seen an index.properties file get created. I've used versions from 1.4.0 through 4.4.0. Generally when you have an index.<timestamp> directory, it's because you're doing replication. There may be other circumstances when it appears, but I do not know what those are. As for the other files in the index directory, here's Lucene's file format documentation: http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_4_0/core/org/apache/lucene/codecs/lucene42/package-summary.html#package_description Thanks, Shawn
