java.io.IOException: Lock obtain timed out: Lock@/tmp/lucene-dcc982e203ef1d2aebb5d8a4b55b3a60-write.lock

2006-04-15 Thread Puneet Lakhina
Hi all,
I am very new to lucene. I am using it in my application to index and serach
through text files. And my program is more or less similar to the demo
privided with lucene distribution.
Initially everything was working fine without any problems. But today while
running the application i have been getting this exception

java.io.IOException: Lock obtain timed out: Lock@/tmp/lucene-
dcc982e203ef1d2aebb5d8a4b55b3a60-write.lock

whever i try to read or write to the index. I am unable to understand why
this is happening. IS there some mistake I am making in the code.. because I
havent changed any code, which was working smoothly up until today!!!

My version of lucene is 1.9.1

I deleted the index directory and tried again and voila now it works again!!
But if I am going to be delivering my application I would really like to
know why this was happening to guard against it..

Thanks

You are creating two IndexWriters on the same directory

I guess that is the reason for the problem and one holds the lock

Could it just be that the application was not shut down properly? If  
you dare, check for locks and remove them when you start your  
application.


Note that both IndexReader and IndexWriter can produce a write-lock.
