Catalog index search uses Lucene 3.6.1 search engine

Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation Release 9.2.1 uses the Lucene 3.6.1 search engine to perform the catalog index search. Prior to Release 9.2.1, Lucene 2.4 was used for catalog index search. When a catalog index search was performed in Release 9.2 (or earlier), only two-to-three files were created. When a catalog index search is performed in Release 9.2.1, a large number of files are created.

How it affects you

If you receive a "too many files open" search index exception, the catalog index search has reached the open files limit for the operating system. To avoid the error, perform the following tasks:
  • Reset the open file limit for your operating system
  • Ensure mergeFactor is not set to large values
