Just to be clear, if you are not using a compound file, do you need to worry about this? I am using 3.2, but I've got the compound file turned off and have 11 files per segment. Upgrading is in my near future, but I think 3.4 will be out by the time I get there.
From what I've just been reading, Solr and Lucene default to using the compound file format. I started with 1.4.0, and now I'm not sure whether I turned it off or whether the example solrconfig.xml already had it turned off, but I know that it continues to be disabled because of performance worries. Do things still run faster if compound file format is off in the newest stable versions?
Thanks, Shawn
