Hi Mike,

I just changed my test-code to run in an indefinite loop over the database to 
index everything. Set the jvm to 120MB heap size, all other parameters as 
before.
I got an OOError just as before - so I would say there is a leak somewhere.

Here is the histogram.

Heap Histogram

All Classes (excluding platform)
Class   Instance Count  Total Size
class [B        1809102         41992326
class [C        200610  26877068
class [[B       46117   9473872
class java.lang.String  198629  3178064
class org.apache.lucene.index.FreqProxTermsWriter$PostingList   100927  2825956
class [Ljava.util.HashMap$Entry;        11329   2494312
class java.util.HashMap$Entry   132578  2121248
class [I        5186    2097300 

So far I had no success in pinpointing those binary arrays, I will need some 
more time for this.

But a "leak" would keep leaking over time, right?  Ie even a 1 GB heap
on your test db should eventually throw OOME if there's really a leak.

Are you calling updateDocument (which deletes then adds)?

Deletes (the Term or Query you pass to updateDocument or
deleteDocuments) are buffered in a HashMap and then that buffer is
materialized into actual deleted doc IDs when IndexWriter decides to
do so.  I think IndexWriter isn't properly flushing the deletes when
they use too much RAM.
