Josef commented on LUCENE-2762:
-------------------------------
Since I am still observing file references on deleted index files, I have a
quick question regarding this issue:
We are using Lucene 3.0.3 with standard configuration and near real-time
reader, as the following pseudo code shows:
{code}
...
// initially obtaining and referencing a near-real time searcher
IndexSearcher currentSearcher = new IndexSearcher(writer.getReader())
...
// subsequently obtaining a new near-real time searcher if necessary
if (!currentSearcher.getIndexReader().isCurrent()) {
IndexReader newReader = currentSearcher.getIndexReader().reopen();
IndexSearcher newSearcher = new IndexSearcher(newReader);
// release old searcher (by decreasing reference)
currentSearcher.getIndexReader().decRef();
currentSearcher = newSearcher;
}
...
{code}
After running the application for a while with index updates and doing new
searcher using the newly obtained IndexSearcher, we noticed that JVM still
holds references to already deleted index files.
For example:
{code}

{code}
The application reaches the limit of maximum number of open files and then
stops.
Are we doing anything wrong here or does the bug still exist in version 3.0.3?
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks!

>
> If you have CFS enabled today, and pooling is enabled (either directly
> or because you've pulled an NRT reader), IndexWriter will hold open
> SegmentReaders against the non-CFS format of each merged segment.
> So even if you close all NRT readers you've pulled from the writer,
> you'll still see file handles open against files that have been
> deleted.
> This count will not grow unbounded, since it's limited by the number
> of segments in the index, but it's still a serious problem since the
> app had turned off CFS in the first place presumably to avoid risk of
> too-many-open-files. It's also bad because it ties up disk space
> since these files would otherwise be deleted.
