I tested 'expungeDeletes' on four different cores, three of them were nearly identical in terms of numbers. Max Docs were around ~2.2M, Num Docs was ~1.6M and Deleted Docs were ~600K - so the percentage of Deleted Docs were around the ~27 percent mark. So according to your feedback, I should start to worry! Now the question is, why aren't the Deleted Docs being merged away if this is in fact supposed to happen? > 1> This is automatic.

Yeah, that I am aware of - I noticed that even after running 'expungeDeletes' I had a few thousand docs left, which is acceptable and does not worry me. > 4> True, but usually the effect is so minuscule that nobody notices. > People spend > endless time obsessing about this and unless and until you can show that your > _users_ notice, I'd ignore it. Hehe, then I'll refrain from being one of those that obsess over this. As long as I know the effect it has is minuscule, then I'll just toss the thought in the bin. -- Yours sincerely Jostein Elvaker Haande "A free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular" - Adlai Stevenson http://tolecnal.net -- tolecnal at tolecnal dot net
