Doug Cutting commented on LUCENE-818: ------------------------------------- > Perhaps for close() of an already closed object just do nothing? +1 Double-closing is sometimes hard to avoid. I'd rather have it ignored than force folks to, e.g., write more complicated exception handlers. > IndexWriter should detect when it's used after being closed > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-818 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-818 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Index > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Assigned To: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > Attachments: LUCENE-818.patch > > > Spinoff from this thread on java-user: > http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-user/45986 > If you call addDocument on IndexWriter after it's closed you'll hit a > hard-to-explain NullPointerException (because the RAMDirectory was > closed).
