Hey Mike, thanks for the quick response, I tried passing Directory to IndexReader.open() and there were no deadlocks!! I will get rid of synchronizing on FSDirectory too.
However do you think it will be better to modify the docs for FSDirectory and remove the sync part of "Directories are cached, so that, for a given canonical path, the same FSDirectory instance will always be returned by getDirectory. This permits synchronization on directories." Sounds misleading. Lastly, can you please very briefly explain why passing a Directory worked? -thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Deadlock-in-using-FSDirectory-tp22378951p22380572.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
