I am trying to create a command line option for our tool to force index access even if the index is locked. Of course I could remove the lock files manually but that doesn't seem to be a good idea since I'd have to make some assumptions about the internal workings of your code.
I tried this (indexLocation = path to index as String):
IndexReader.unlock(FSDirectory.getDirectory(indexLocation, false));
Is that appropriate? Is there any way to avoid the IOException that gets thrown about not being able to delete "commit.lock"?
Thanks, Peter
