Hello Ard, What you are after is a higher mergeFactor and probably also a higher maxBufferedDocs. Is indexing performance the concern? Don't go crazy with setting a super high (e.g. 100+) mergeFactor, unless you really have the number of open files on your server(s) set to a solid/high number. maxBufferedDocs can be set to a much higher number, typically, depending on the size of the documents you are trying to index and the amount of heap the JVM has to work with. There is also a new API for explicit flushes of in-memory documents while indexing to control memory consumption.

By default it seems to be 10.
