Spanned indexes

["Kainth, Sachin" <Sa...@atkinsglobal.com>]

Hi all,

Is it possible in Lucene for an index to span multiple files?  If so
what is the recommendation in this case?  Is it better to span after the
index reaches a particular size?  Furthermore, does Lucene ever span a
single record between two or more index files in this case or does it
ensure that a single record will only appear in one spanned file?

Many thanks for your advice

Sachin
