Ok... after spending time looking at the code... I see that a method is not closing a TokenStream in one of the classes (a class that is instantiated quite often) - I would imagine this could quite possibly be the culprit?

I've read the FAQ about : lowering the merge factor (currently set to 25), issuing a ulimit -n : <number>, etc... but I am still getting the "Too Many Open Files" : Exception (yes... I'm making sure I close all writer/searchers/reader : and I only have one open at a time). so ... what is your ulimit set to? how many files are in your index directory? have you tried running lsof on your processes to see all the files you have open? the anoying thing about "Too Many Open Files" type errors, is that the method/class/library that encounters the problem isn't neccessarily the guy that caused hte problem ... it's just the straw that breaks the camels back. it could be that you aren't closing some network socket (sockets are files too) and it may not have anything to do with lucene. or it could just be that your index has a ton of files because of hte number of segments and the number of fields, and between it, and all the jars your app loads it really does just use 1 too many files for your ulimit. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
