hum... at beginning I also assumed segment index files will only be deleted or added, but not modified.
But I did a test with heavy indexing on going, and observed the index file in [core]/index with a latest updated timestamp keep growing for about 7 minutes... not sure if the new write caused any merge and the file being updated has pretty big size, so it could be merging... but that does mean index files can be modified. thanks Renee -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/any-easy-way-to-find-out-when-a-core-s-index-physical-file-has-been-last-updated-tp4227044p4227049.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
