: Ok so I think that Solr (lucene) will only remove deleted/updated : documents from the disk after an optimize or after an 'expungeDeletes' : request. Is there a way to trigger the expunsion (new word) across the : entire index? I tried :
deletes are removed when segments are merged -- an optimize merges all segments, so it forcibley removes all deleted docs, but regular merges as documents are added/updated will clean things up periodicly -- so if you have a fixed set of documents that you keep updating over and over your index size will not grow with out bounds -- it will ossilate between a min (completely optimized) and a max (lots of segments with lots of deletions just about to be merged) -Hoss
