Well, I wish it were that easy...I open one IndexWriter to write the documents to the index after it is created, and then call writer.optimize() and writer.close(). Your suggestion is a good one in that, from what I've read, the writer needs to be closed to release the lock file. Apparently, there is more to it than that. Also, this doesn't happen consistently -- just occasionally.
