Hi,

We have a customer using lucene on an NFS directory, which contains ~10Gb of .nfsXXXX files. These files are the means by which NFS implements delete-on-close semantics (that is, if the index writer commits a delete of a file that is still held open by an index reader, the file is renamed to .nfsXXXXX).

The version of Lucene in use is 2.2.

Our IndexSearcher is refreshed almost every minute (new IndexSearcher (Directory directory)) depending on whether content has been added/ updated/deleted.

What must be done to guarantee that lucene does not hold onto files that have been deleted?

Can a dereferenced IndexSearcher (closeReader=true) which has not been close()-ed cause lucene to be holding onto file handles of deleted index files?

Cheers,
Dave
