This limitations you're talking about are known and will be fixed
in the near future.. the trick is, to have one read-only and one
write-only index.. This is currently being worked on. If you need
a fix right now, you need to do it yourself but you can take a look
on omdb's code and how it's done there:

http://bugs.omdb.org/browser/branches/2007.1/lib/omdb/ferret/lib/util.rb
(see the switch code)

If you don't need a fix right now, i'm sure AAF will come up with
a solution for that in the near future (aka probably not this year).

on a side note.. for the to many open files error, see:

http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Index/IndexWriter.html
(use_compound_file, you may have set this to false) or simply increase
the number of open files. On omdb we're running with 32k :-)
