In all of my previous experiments ... on the first POST ... the index size increased slightly, but the file count never (I think) went up! Who can explain to me what's going on here?!! I'm using Solr 1.2 ... the only change I have done is added new fields to support my data type. -JM -----Original Message----- From: Bill Au <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 8:58 am Subject: Re: what's up with: java -Ddata=args -jar post.jar "<optimize/>" What messages do you see in your log file?
