XP Proffesionall / win 2003 Server, we had this issue on JVMs 1.5/1.6. It seams it this happens "not so often" on 1.6/Win2003, but we have this in production only for 2 weeks.
We have single update machine that builds index in batch and replicates to many Index readers, so at least customers are not affected by this annoyance, they get their updates only a few hours later ... Anyhow, I would be really interested to have this problem solved somehow, my logic was if ant never had this problem (not that I know), let us try their approach. What is annoyance for me personally is that I am not able to reproduce this problem reliably enough... happens only in production once in a month (daily updates, ca 40Mio documents) What Store you use, MMAP or FS? IndexWriter cannot function with MMAP on our machines (yet another WIN problem), Reader works like a charm On a side note, Latest 1.6 binaries look stable (as far as our Lucene based app is concerned), brings nice speed-up for free (up to 30% on 64 bit platforms!) ----- Original Message ---- From: Michael McCandless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Saturday, 5 August, 2006 10:33:31 PM Subject: Re: running a lucene indexing app as a windows service on xp, crashing > This is windows/jvm issue .

Indeed it seems like Windows somehow believes the "deletable" file must be still held open, given that the File.renameTo and also the "fallback" open failed. I tried a quick test to reproduce this but could not. I just modified the demo IndexFiles command line tool to add documents forever, then used Windows Explorer to refresh like crazy... I tested with Sun JDK 1.4.2 on Windows XP Pro SP 2. Which JDK / version, and Windows XP version, are you using?
