Hello,

What would be the best strategy to support an index with thousands or even 
hundreds of thousands of individual field names?

I have client applications that create a lot of key/value type data. I use the 
key as document field name so I end up with _a lot_ of .f<m> files and
eventually the my application breaks with: FileNotFoundException: Too many open 
files.

I searched this list and it seems like others had this problem before, but I 
could not find a solution.

>From what I read in the Lucene docs, these .f<m> files store the normalization 
>factor for the corresponding field. What exactly is this used for and more

>first place?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Rico.
