Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2002 16:07:44 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Spam-Rating: daedalus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N X-Spam-Rating: daedalus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N Hi all, I always thought that the number of files in a index should be roughly constant, (number_of_fields + 7) ^2 + a few other files. For example, I have 10 fields, it should have 17 files with the extension .f1, 17 with extension .f2 and so on (for a total of 17 extensions). But as I indexed more documents, the file count kept growing, as of now, there are 38 files for each of the extensions Anyone know why this is happening? Does the mergefactor play a role in this, I have it set to the default, 10. Thanks in advance. Philip -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
