Hello, I use Lucene in a long-running server application on a Linux server, and the other day I got the "Too many open files" exception. I've increased the number of allowed file handles, but was checking out the open file handles using "lsof", and see about 300 files listed like the following:
java 1458 jboss 436r REG 8,2 3945 6258825 /var/lucene-index/_1o6hl.cfs (deleted) java 1458 jboss 437r REG 8,2 3467 6258829 /var/lucene-index/_1o6hp.cfs (deleted) java 1458 jboss 438r REG 8,2 2743 6258826 /var/lucene-index/_1o6ht.cfs (deleted) java 1458 jboss 439r REG 8,2 4069 6258817 /var/lucene-index/_1o6hx.cfs (deleted) java 1458 jboss 440r REG 8,2 4098 6258830 /var/lucene-index/_1o6i1.cfs (deleted) java 1458 jboss 441r REG 8,2 1817 6258821 /var/lucene-index/_1o6i3.cfs (deleted) I haven't been monitoring this long enough to tell if the number simply continues to grow over time or levels off at some point. I was wondering if this behavior to be expected? When will the application release these deleted file handles (if ever)? Perhaps during garbage collection? Or might I be handling the index incorrectly in some way? Any thoughts appreciated. -- m@ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
