: I think though, that I will need a setter on the reader, rather than the : writer. That is, I don't know what factor we want until I know how : large the index is. And I don't know how large the index will be at the : time of creating the writer, but I can just ask for maxDoc() at the time : of opening the reader.
I believe if you really want to determine settings like this after building the index, you'll need to do an initial build the index using best guess values -- then if the calculations you do once the index is built aren't close enough to your guesses to satisfy you, change the value and optimize. >From what i remember about how optimize works, it creates all new segments regardless of the previous state of the index -- and those new segments should use the newly set values. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
