Lucene does provide locking so that two JVM's can access the same index.
Check out the LockFactory to control how this is done.
There are a couple advantages of using IndexAccessor:
For one you could use a NoLockFactory and avoid Lucene's locking
mechanism. Also, you would only need to run one
Hi All,
I have a scenario where there are two processes (2 JVMs) accessing the same
index. One of them is doing the indexing as documents arrive into the system
and the second one servers search queries. Both the processes are running on
the same machine.
Is there a need to do some kind of lockin
