IndexWriter.isLocked() fails on a read-only directory -----------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-2607 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2607 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.9.2 Reporter: Trejkaz This appears to be a regression of some sort because the issue was only discovered by us some time after upgrading to the 2.9 series, and was not present when we were using 2.3 (big gap between those two, though.) We had some code like: {code} if (IndexWriter.isLocked(directory)) { IndexWriter.unlock(directory); } {code} And now we get an exception when this code runs on a read-only location: {noformat} java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to acquire random test lock; please verify filesystem for lock directory 'X:\Data\Index' supports locking at org.apache.lucene.store.NativeFSLockFactory.acquireTestLock(NativeFSLockFactory.java:99) at org.apache.lucene.store.NativeFSLockFactory.makeLock(NativeFSLockFactory.java:137) at org.apache.lucene.store.Directory.makeLock(Directory.java:131) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.isLocked(IndexWriter.java:5672) at {noformat} I think it makes more logical sense to return *false* - if locking is not possible then it cannot be locked, therefore isLocked should always return false. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
