Hi every body: I need to know how to merge an index into another.
I have a master index whose another indexes are added to it from others nodes . I want to merge indexes from the others nodes to master index, I made this method: public void merge(String MasterIndexDir, String IndexToMerge) { FSDirectory fsDir; try { fsDir = FSDirectory.getDirectory(IndexDir, false); IndexReader indexToMerge = IndexReader.open(IndexToMerge); AnalyzerHandler analyzer = new AnalyzerHandler(); IndexWriter fsWriter = new IndexWriter(fsDir, analyzer.getAnalyzer(), false); fsWriter.addIndexes(new IndexReader[] {indexToMerge}); fsWriter.close(); } catch (IOException e) { System.err.println(e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } } But with this method I get the following exception: Lock obtain timed out: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:\DOCUME~1\a\LOCALS~1\Temp\lucene- f9488d465badf2bf80c713184c580f65-write.lock java.io.IOException: Lock obtain timed out: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :\DOCUME~1\aromero\LOCALS~1\Temp\lucene- f9488d465badf2bf80c713184c580f65-write.lock at org.apache.lucene.store.Lock.obtain(Lock.java:58) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.<init>(IndexWriter.java:223) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.<init>(IndexWriter.java:213) at cu.co.cenatav.kernel.indexing.MergeIndexes.merge(MergeIndexes.java :18) at cu.co.cenatav.kernel.indexing.MergeIndexes.main(MergeIndexes.java:36) Could you help me ??? I don't know why this is happening ??? Sorry for my english.
