Grant Ingersoll commented on LUCENE-1050: ----------------------------------------- I agree, it can be fixed by the SpellChecker, but it still seems like an error to throw an exception just b/c you try to delete something that doesn't exist, especially since the release() mechanism doesn't say what will happen if it is called when a lock doesn't exist. The fix in the lock is really simple, too: {code} if (lockFile.exists() && !lockFile.delete()){ throw... } {code} I vote for fixing both cases. > SimpleFSLockFactory ignores error on deleting the lock file > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1050 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1050 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Store > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.3 > > Attachments: LUCENE-1050.patch > > > Spinoff from here: > http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-user/54438 > The Lock.release for SimpleFSLockFactory ignores the return value of > lockFile.delete(). I plan to throw a new LockReleaseFailedException, > subclassing from IOException, when this returns false. This is a very minor > change to backwards compatibility because all methods in Lucene that release > a lock already throw IOException. -- 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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
