Shalin, Here is what I've read on maxMergeDocs,
"While merging segments, Lucene will ensure that no segment with more than maxMergeDocs is created." Wouldn't that mean that no index file should contain more than max docs? I guess the index files could also just contain the index information which is not limited by any property - is that true? Is there any work around to limit the index size, beside limiting the index itself?
