As I understand it, if two writers try to acess the same index for writing, then one of the writers should block waiting for a lock until the lock timeout period expires, and then they will return a "Lock wait timeout" exception.
I have a multithreaded indexing applications that writes into one of multiple indexes depending on a hash value, and I intend to merge all the hashes when the indexing finishes. Locking usually works but sometimes it doesn't and I get IO exceptions such as the following.. java.io.IOException: Cannot delete _19.fnm at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.deleteFile(FSDirectory.java:198) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentMerger.createCompoundFile(SegmentMerger.java:157) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentMerger.merge(SegmentMerger.java:100) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.mergeSegments(IndexWriter.java:487) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.optimize(IndexWriter.java:366) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.addIndexes(IndexWriter.java:389) at org.en.global.indexer.IndexGroup.run(IndexGroup.java:387) Any idea on why this could be happening? I am using NFS currently, but the problem appears on the local filesystem as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
