The segments_N file is not held open... it's opened only briefly and then closed. So the writer is able to delete it. > I think we can come up w/ some notification mechanism, through MQ or > something. Yeah... if you do that (only attempt to open a new reader when you know a writer has committed), please report back if that stops the exception! > Do you think it's worth to be documented on the Wiki?

Actually that FAQ (I'm assuming you're talking about http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneFAQ#head-24283600713a6643a4a643cef86af5acfc83aa96) is talking about the old commit lock, which we no longer use (as of lockless commits). I think that one should be removed.
