Here is one way to do it: You can read/open an index at any point, even when it's being modified. You can then open a new FSDirectory pointing to a new directory and add your original FSDirectory to that new FSDirectory. That will copy the index. Of course, any new documents you add to the original index after you've opened it will not be copied. The same goes for any documents that were still buffered in memory when you opened the index, and were not yet flushed to disk.

The simple files/attachments used by our application can be simply copied to the DR site just by syncing (manual copying). Yes, we can also copy the index directory, but problem arises when we have copy the index directory, while the index directory is being updated, that means the Index is open. Wont this corrupt the index directory. Does Lucene 2.0 have support for copying opened index directory, without corrupting it. Please do let me know. Thanks, Divya. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
