Hello,

I'm coping a question I've asked in the Users lists, but I think it requires
some patching effort, so maybe that list will be more suitable. The question
is as follow.

I'm using Lucene2.4. I'm developing a web application that using Lucene (via
compass) to do the searches. 
I'm intending to deploy the application in Google App Engine
(http://code.google.com/appengine/), which limits files length to be smaller
than 10MB. I've read about the various policies supported by Lucene to limit
the file sizes, but on matter which policy I used and which parameters, the
index files still grew to be lot more the 10MB. Looking at the code, I've
managed to limit the cfs files (predicting the file size in
CompoundFileWriter before closing the file) - I guess that will degrade
performance, but it's OK for now. But now the FDT files are becoming huge
(about 60MB) and I cant identifiy a way to limit those files. 

Is there some built-in and correct way to limit these files length? If no,
can someone direct me please how should I tweak the source code to achieve
that? 

Thanks for any help.
