Do you have two threads simultaneously either writing or deleting from the index?

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I now have a greater understanding of
PART of my problem - my SQLDirectory is not *quite* right, I think. So I'm
rolling back to FSDirectory.


Now, I have a servlet that writes to the filesystem to simplify things (as
I'm not confident enough to debug the RDMS-based directory yet. That's a
task for later, I think). The servlet says it successfully creates the
index like so:


try {
   open the index with create=false
} catch (file not found) {
   open the index with create=true
}
index.optimize();
index.close();

Now, when I fire off any messages to the MDB, it yields the following:

java.io.IOException: Lock obtain timed out:
Lock@/var/tmp/lucene-d6b0a3281487d1bc4d169d00426f475d-write.lock
        at org.apache.lucene.store.Lock.obtain(Lock.java:58)

Now, this is on only two messages to the MDB, not just a flood of
messages. Two handlers, so I expect a lock in one's case, but not the
first MDB call - it should be the one causing the lock for the second one,
if a lock exists at all.


I've verified that when the servlet that initializes the index runs, a
lock file is NOT present, but again, it looks like every message fired
through looks for a lock and finds one, when I would think it wouldn't be
there.


What am I not understanding?

If this is a stupid question, I deeply apologize. I'm stumped.

I have a message-driven EJB using Lucene. In *every* case where the MDB is
trying to create an index, I'm getting "Lock obtain timed out."


It's in org.apache.lucene.store.Lock.obtain(Lock.java:58), which the user
list has referred to before - but I don't see how the suggestions there
apply to what I'm trying to do. (It's creating a lock file in /var/tmp/
properly, from what I can see, so it's not write permissions, I imagine.)


I set the infoStream in my index writer to System.out, but I don't see any
extra information.


I'm using a SQL-based Directory object, but I get the same problem if I
refer to a file directly.


Is there a way to override the Lock portably so that I can have the lock
itself managed in an RDMS? (It's a J2EE project, so relying on file access
is problematic; if the beans using lucene to write to the index are on
multiple servers, multiple locks could exist anyway.)
