Using the merge utility 163
The merge utility reads srcCollection and splits it into roughly equal pieces, using the filenames
given for newCollection1 and so on.
If you want to split a very large collection into a large number of new collections, you can use the
following command, instead of explicitly naming each new collection:
merge -split -number newCollection srcCollection
The merge utility reads the collection identified by srcCollection and splits it into the number of
segments specified by the
-number option. The name of the first new collection is generated by
appending the first two letters in the alphabet (aa) to the directory name given for newCollection.
Each subsequent filename is generated by incrementing one of the appended letters (up to zz) for
a maximum of 676 partitions. For example, if the value of
-number is 3, and the value of
newCollection is Collection1, the collections are named, Collection1aa, Collection1ab, and
Collection1ac.
Note: The maximum length of the directory name given for newCollection is two characters less than
the length allowed by the file system.
