Hi,
I have built a nice lucene application on linux with no problems, but when I ported to windows for the customer, I started experiencing problems with the index not closing. This prevents re-indexing.
I'm using lucene 1.4.1 under tomcat 5.0.28.
My search operation is very simple and works great:
create reader create searcher do search extract N docs from hits close searcher close reader
However, on several occasions, when trying to re-index, I get "can't delete file" errors from the indexer. I discovered that restarting tomcat clears the problem. (Note that I'm recreating the index completely, not updating.)
I've spent the last couple of hours trolling the archives and I've found numerous references to windows problems with open files.
Is there a fix for this? How can I force the files to close? What's the best work-around?
Many thanks,
Fred
