The lock file is only for Writers. The lock file ensures that even two
writers from two JVM's will not step on each other. Readers do not care
about what the writers are doing or whether there is a lock file...even
more so with the new generational files i believe.

Hi,
you do not need to writer.close() the IndexWriter at all to make changes

When IndexWriter is constructed with autoCommit = true flag set,
calling writer.flush() will do.
Ok, but what about the write.lock? IndexWriter releases its write.lock only
when closed, so i think problems may begin when i try to open IndexReader on
a locked index. I'm still confused... help.
