Right... for stock Solr usage (i.e. as long as they don't try to lock the same thing.) It is funny that native locks always work across different processes, but not always in the same JVM though. > -- i believe the underlying source of the exception > was that he was using multiple webapps w/o realizing it -- so presumably > both webapps were trying to use the same solr home dir. Right... it's really two issues: #1) two separate solr instances trying to use the same solr index #2) native lock factory fails if it's two different Solr webapps in the same JVM trying to lock the same thing. I do recall expert level stuff like people having mutiple solr instances pointing to the same data directory in the past though, but not sure if it was from the same JVM or not. Should we clarify "Do not use with multiple solr webapps in the same JVM" or just remove it? -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
