You probably forgot to close an IndexWriter?
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.
Set a breakpoint, print the stacktrace of a new instance of Exception to
your log, or do something similar in the lock methods of Lucene so you
will find out what code of yours lock and unlocks the index.
I'm quite convinced you forget to close something. Or perhaps you try to
modify at the same time as you insert documents.
Why do you need an IndexWriter at all? Can't you open a single
IndexModifier and use to do all adds/deletes against your RAMDirectory?
Or maybe I'm not understanding the full context...
