Dear All, On a Linux system running a multi-core linux server, we are experiencing a problem of too many files open which is causing tomcat to abort. Reading the documentation, one of the things it seems we can do is to switch to using compound indexes. We can see that in the solrconfig.xml there is an option:
<useCompoundFile>true</useCompoundFile> in the <indexdefaults> and <mainindex> section. We have set this to true and restarted tomcat. I have then used the script ./optimize script to get Solr to optimize the index. In the lucene documentation it suggests this is the way to switch to a compound index. However, with SOLR while the index is optimized, its not converted to a compound file. What are we doing wrong? What is the correct way to convert an index to use a compound file? Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Regards, Nicholas
