Hmmm, you should not close the directory if you are then going to use it to instantiate a searcher.

Your code below never closes the searcher? I think that is most likely the source of your file descriptor leaks.

Technically you should call directory.close() as well, but missing that will not lead to too many open files.

How often is that RuntimeException being thrown? EG if a single document is frequently hitting an exception during analysis, your code doesn't close the IndexWriter in that situation. It's better to use a try/finally and close the IndexWriter in the finally clause, to cover that case.

Are you sure nothing else is using up file descriptors? EG the createDocument call does not open any files?

Mike

The runtimeException is occurring all the time, Im waiting for some more information from the user. Since the post I've since added directory.close() too, I thought this would cause a problem when I call IndexSearcher with it as a parameter but it seems to still work - the documentation is not very clear on this point. I see your poibnt about the try/finally I'll make that chnage.

There are many other parts of the code that use filedescriptors, but the problem has never occurred before moving to a FSDirectory

thanks paul

heres an example of my search code, is this ok ?

public boolean recNoColumnMatchesSearch(Integer columnId, Integer recNo, String search)
{         try
      {
          IndexSearcher is = new IndexSearcher(directory);

//Build a query based on the fields, searchString and standard analyzer QueryParser parser = new QueryParser(String.valueOf(columnId) + INDEXED, analyzer);
          Query query = parser.parse(search);
MainWindow.logger.finer("Parsed Search Query Is" + query.toString() + "of type:" + query.getClass());

          //Create a filter,to restrict search to one row
Filter filter = new QueryFilter(new TermQuery(new Term(ROW_NUMBER, String.valueOf(recNo))));

          //run the search
          Hits hits = is.search(query, filter);
          Iterator i = hits.iterator();
          if (i.hasNext())
          {
              return true;
          }
      }
      catch (ParseException pe)
      {
//Problem with syntax rather than throwing exception and causing everything to stop we just
          //log and return false
MainWindow.logger.warning("Search Query invalid:" + pe.getMessage());
          return false;
      }
      catch (IOException e)
      {
MainWindow.logger.warning("DataIndexer.Unable to do perform reno match search:" + search + ":" + e);
      }
      return false;

Hi, I have been using a RAMDirectory for indexing without any problem, but I then moved to a file based directory to reduce memory usage. this has been working fine on Windows and OSX and my version of linux (redhat) but is failing on a version of linux (archlinux) with 'Too many files opened' , but they are only indexing 32 documents , I can index thousands without a problem. It mentions this error in the Lucene FAQ but I am not dealing directly with the filesystem myself, this is my code for creating an index is it okay or is there some kind of close that I am missing

thanks for any help Paul

public synchronized void reindex()
 {
     MainWindow.logger.info("Reindex start:" + new Date());
     TableModel tableModel = table.getModel();
     try
     {
         //Recreate the RAMDirectory uses too much memory
         //directory = new RAMDirectory();
directory = FSDirectory.getDirectory(Platform.getPlatformLicenseFolder()+ "/" + TAG_BROWSER_INDEX); IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(directory, analyzer, true);

         //Iterate through all rows
         for (int row = 0; row < tableModel.getRowCount(); row++)
         {
             //for each row make a new document
             Document document = createDocument(row);
             writer.addDocument(document);

         }
         writer.optimize();
         writer.close();
     }
     catch (Exception e)
     {
throw new RuntimeException("Problem indexing Data:" + e.getMessage());
     }
}
