Sorry, I didn't word my original message very well. The situation is we have a larger max segment size currently configured (let's say 10GB) and we want to update the config to reduce the max segment size (let's say 5GB). Will we need to reindex for that reduction to take effect? I have only seen code/explanations around merging (i.e. Joining two segments into larger segments) but never anything about segment splitting (which I imagine doesn't happen?)

But not sure if there is no NRT is happening will the above take effect . It is good to read. https://blog.mikemccandless.com/2011/02/visualizing-lucenes-segment-merges.html Thanks, Ramesh On Mon, Dec 9, 2024 at 11:57 AM Kevin Liang (BLOOMBERG/ 919 3RD A) < klian...@bloomberg.net> wrote: > Hello, > > We've configured a merge policy factory such that max segment size is > greater than the default.
