Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2476:
--------------------------------------------
I agree, we should fix this. I'll change to a try/finally w/ a success boolean.
You can use IndexWriter#unlock to forcefully remove the lock, as a workaround.

> Constructor of IndexWriter let's runtime exceptions pop up, while keeping the
> writeLock obtained.
> The init method in IndexWriter catches IOException only (I got
> NegativeArraySize by reading up a _corrupt_ index), and now, there is no way
> to recover, since the writeLock will be kept obtained. Moreover, I don't have
> IndexWriter instance either, to "grab" the lock somehow, since the init()
> method is called from IndexWriter constructor.
> Either broaden the catch to all exceptions, or at least provide some
> circumvention to clear up. In my case, I'd like to "fallback", just delete
> the corrupted index from disk and recreate it, but it is impossible, since
> the LOCK_HELD NativeFSLockFactory's entry about obtained WriteLock is _never_
> cleaned out and is no (at least apparent) way to clean it out forcibly. I
> can't create new IndexWriter, since it will always fail with
> LockObtainFailedException.
