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. > Please explain those buffered deletes in a few more details. 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.
