the number of files i nthe index directory is not the "number of segments" the number of segments is an internal lucene concept that impacts the the number of files, but it is not an actual file count. A segment can consist of multiple files depending on how your schema.xml is configured (and wether you are using the compound file format) You can see the current number of segments by looking at the stats page... http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/stats.jsp SolrIndexReader{this=64a7c45e,r=ReadOnlyDirectoryReader@64a7c45e,refCnt=1,segments=10} ...that's from the solr example, where the index directory at the time of that request actually contained 93 files. -Hoss
