Hello, I spent most of today talking to some people about Lucene, and one of them said how they would really like to have an "instantaneous index merge", and how he is thinking he could achieve that by simply opening segments file of one index, and adding segment names of the other index/indices, plus adjusting the segment size (SegSize in fileformats.html), thus creating a single (but unoptimized) index. Any reactions to that? I imagine this isn't quite that simple to implement, as one would have to renumber all documents, in order to avoid having multiple documents with the same document id. Can anyone think of any other problems with this approach, or perhaps offer ideas for possible document renumbering?
