Hi Gopal, Indeed, for a single Lucene index, only one writer may be open at a time. Lucene tries to catch you if you mess this up, using file-based locking.
If you really need concurrent indexing, you could have N IndexWriters each writing into a private Directory, and then periodically use addIndexes to "reduce" these indices down into a single index which you then use for searching.
