Hi Mike,
You are right, sometimes there is an implicit merge running when the machine goes non-responsive. How can we avoid running those merges during the day and how can we minimize the effect it will have on searches?

Is it possible a large merge is running?

You can turn on IndexWriter.setInfoStream to see more details about
what IW is doing, including merging.

Hello guys,
We have a dilemma on a few of our lucene machines.  We have a tomcat running
our servlets for searching and indexing on each of these machines.  Its a
live index where documents are being added to index while online searches
are also being served at the same time.  Indexing happens every 5 minutes
and if there are new documents added, the index gets reopend.  For most of
the times the performance is very good, but under heavy load of searches,
the machine goes non-responsive.  We can still telnet to machine and see
that cpu-wise its not bad, but I/O seems to be a problem.  Is there anything
we might be doing to cause it or anything that we can do to avoid it.  I
know I did not provide a lot of information about how we are indexing and
searching but I will answer any question anyone might have.

thanks in advance
