Hi Andy, If you have your own solution to guarantee reader/write locking, and it's faster then what Lucene.Net has to offer, you can use it.
"disableLuceneLocks" is provided by Lucene.Net so that a Lucene application can be run off a CD/DVD (read-only device) thus, no lock file will be created. BTW, what is your solution?

I have a scenario where I can gurantee that the processing using the Reader object is ONLY going to read the index and NOT modify it in any way. It seems to me that disabling the locking would reduce some overhead that I dont really need to care about. Thoughts? Thanks Andy
