Re: [Neo4j] Groovy and Unable to lock store..this is usually a result of..
Have you just upgraded to neo4j 1.3? In that case you need to explicitly say that neo4j can upgrade your store, otherwise an exception (wrapped in a TransactionFailureException) will be thrown at startup. It would be helpful with the full stacktrace though, it always is. If it indeed is an exception regarding upgrade (take a look at the nested exception if it says about allowing the upgrade of your store) then see documentation on how to upgrade here: http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/stable/deployment-upgrading.html and more specifically http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/stable/deployment-upgrading.html#_special_upgrade hopefully that helps! 2011/4/15 mindthief mindthi...@gmail.com: Hi All, Just trying to get started with Neo4j, and I am seeing the issues reported above. Initially I was getting the IllegalStateException: Unable to lock store message, and now I'm getting the other message TransactionFailureException: Could not create data source. The code correctly created the db the first time I ran it -- these errors are happening on subsequent runs. There is only one application, so no possibility of another being open and accessing the db. I am using Groovy and Blueprints.

Re: [Neo4j] Groovy and Unable to lock store..this is usually a result of..
Hi, Perhaps you're not shutting down the db after usage and have some other process (or visualization like neoclipse in non-ro mode) running at the same datastore? But as this seems to be blueprints related you should perhaps cross-post this question on the tinkerpop/gremlin mailing list.

Re: [Neo4j] Groovy and Unable to lock store..this is usually a result of..
Hi Andrew, Did you get a chance to see the solution posted by Andres? http://lists.neo4j.org/pipermail/user/2010-September/005046.html Check out the patched code in the gist he linked to in that email: http://gist.github.com/594707 The problem with the example you were running was that the finally-block contained failing code. This prevented the entire finally-block from completing, more specifically it prevented shutdown from being invoked. GroovyConsole will keep running even after a script it's executing has failed. Combined with the fact that the scripts that GroovyConsole executes run in the same JVM as GroovyConsole itself (and thus all scripts run in the same JVM), this means that the Neo4j kernel instance from the first execution (that was not shut down due to failure) will still be around when you try to start the second execution. The problem in the original code was that if you omitted the tx.success() call the transaction would roll back. This would mean that the nodes created in the try-block no longer exist. When the code in the finally-block tries to operate on the references to those nodes it will fail since these nodes don't exist. The exception thrown by this failure will prevent the execution of the next statement, the call to shutdown. Thus rendering the problem you have experienced. Andres has nicely fixed this problem in his updated version of your script by having the shutdown invocation in its own, outer, finally-block. This ensures that shutdown is always invoked, regardless of how the script terminates.

I tested the same application in a pure java application - no problem whatsoever. I do the code in groovy script, make a bug and Whamcannot access my graph after it crashes out. The groovy script would not keep the JVM up. I change the graph to a new name and things work again. It is a lock that when groovy crashes out, you cannot get into your graph again. Once again, doing the same code in java and crashing it, I see a recovery message, and it comes up nicely. Groovy isn't doing this recovery. I would like to use Groovy as I think it's going to be a nice fit for writing graph code. Peter also has he same problem using gremlin. cheers, ag The cause of this problem (for the OverlappingFileLockException) is that there's another Neo4j kernel instance already running withing the same JVM for that particular store. I also improved the exception to say that. 2010/9/23 Andrew Grealy iaglyw at yahoo.com Hi All, I have been on the learning path for Neo4J. I came across a problem people are experiencing. If you write groovy scripts to learn how to use Noe4j, then if they bomb out you are left with the 'unable to lock store problem'. I was playing with groovy code from: http://groovyconsole.appspot.com/script/245001 (To reproduce the problem just make a bug, such as comment out the tx.success() line then re-run again) I then tried doing the same thing in Java, to confirm Neo4J isn't flakey. Neo4J was rock solid. This may explain why all the people answering guys messages on this problem says it because you have two applications accessing the system. (Which I can tell you only had one groovy script running at a time.) I would like to make a suggestion have a special startup mode, that can clear the state on startup. (Getting to work again, was painful). In development this would be useful, it would be an over-ride and not normal operation cheers, Andrew ___ Neo4j mailing list User at lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user ___ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user -- Tobias Ivarsson tobias.ivars...@neotechnology.com Hacker, Neo Technology www.neotechnology.com Cellphone: +46 706 534857 ___ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
