Hi I am starting to get an error about a write.lock in lucene when creating an index in an empty directory. It used to work fine before but now it started to occur and as far as I know I didn't touch anything. Printing out the stack trace from the excpetion thrown I get the following :
java.io.IOException: couldn't delete write.lock at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.create(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.getDirectory(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.getDirectory(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.<init>(Unknown Source) at qa.answerextraction.AnswerExtractionImpl.processDocument(Unknown Source) at qa.answerextraction.AnswerExtractionServerPOA._invoke(Unknown Source) at org.jacorb.poa.RequestProcessor.invokeOperation(Unknown Source) at org.jacorb.poa.RequestProcessor.process(Unknown Source) at org.jacorb.poa.RequestProcessor.run(Unknown Source) The code creating this problem is: IndexWriter writer; try { writer = new IndexWriter(indexLocation, sa,false); } catch (java.io.IOException e) { writer = new IndexWriter(indexLocation, sa,true); } This problem only happens when indexing the very first file. After that it works fine. All that seems it needs in the directory is a "segments" file. Could anyone explain to me the problem or what I am doing wrong in it? regards Aaron ________________________________________________________________ Sent through the WebMail system at nextgen.net.mt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
