No, using the same IndexWriter is the way to go. If you want things to be written to disk more frequently, lower the maxBufferedDocs setting. Go down to 1, if you want. You'll use less memory (RAM), Documents will be written to disk without getting buffered in RAM, but the indexing process will be slower.

All the documents were written in a using the same IndexWriter, without ever closing it. Is this what could be responsible for the documents not being in the segmens file, or is this bad practice? Maybe I should use a writer for a batch of documents (1000 or so maybe?), and then discard it and start with a fresh one. Would this help? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
