Hello Dick,
Why you couldn't get an IOException when obtaining the second
writer because you used IndexWriter(String,Analyzer,boolean) version
constructor. Try IndexWriter(Directory,Analyzer,boolean) version instead:
To do it, add the following code on your program:
import org.apache.lucene.store.Directory;
import org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory;
private Directory directory;
private Directory getDirectory() throws IOException {
if( directory == null ){
directory = FSDirectory.getDirectory( indexDir, true );
}
return directory;
}
And use the following method:
private IndexWriter getWriter(String name, boolean createIndex) throws
IOException
{
System.out.println("Opening writer " + name + " on: " +
this.indexDir);
//return new IndexWriter(this.indexDir, this.analyzer,
createIndex);
return new IndexWriter(getDirectory(), this.analyzer, createIndex);
}
If IndexWriter(path,Analyzer,true) is used,
IndexWriter calls FSDirectory.getDirectory(path,true) and
FSDirectory overwrites the existing lock file.
Hope this helps,
Koji
