My Solr index keeps growing

I had created a new index over the weekend, and the final
size was a
few hundred megs.
I just checked and now the index folder is up to 1.7 Gig. Is
this due
to results being cached? can I set a limit to how large the
index will
grow? is there anything else that could be effecting this
file size?

Thanks
Robin

"index" normally refers to the index files on the
disk... is this what you mean?
If so, it shouldn't grow unless new documents are added.

Yes I am talking about the files in the solr/data/index
folder.
So that folder should stay the same size unless documents
are added,
and I guess commit and optimize are run.

I'll have to watch my app and make sure it is not adding
some extra
stuff to the index I am not aware of.
