You are probably just seeing growth in the number of segments in the index... which means that any IndexReader will be holding open a larger number of files at any one time (and become deleted when the IndexWriter removes old segments). This growth in the number of segments isn't unbounded though (because of segment merges). Your 10,000 descriptors should be sufficient. -Yonik > Fortunately, the check-ins of new documents are seldom.
