Resuming this discussion in a new thread to focus only on this
question:
What is the best way to get the size of an index so it does not get
too big to be optimized (or to allow a very large segment merge)
given space limits?
I already have the largest 15,000rpm SCSI direct attached storage so
buying storage is not an option. I don't do deletes.
From what I've read, I expect no more than a 2x increase during
optimization and have not seen more in practice.
I'm thinking: stop indexing, commit, do a du.
That sounds reasonable, but on the other thread, I'd still plan for a
3x increase, even if you aren't doing deletes, just to be on the safe
side.
I wonder if there is a way to report it back via Java/Lucene in a
Request Handler or in the Luke Request Handler? May be worth taking
the time to add.
