Hi, I know a similar subject has been discussed in this list and this is not a "windows file system" list ;-) But may be someone have encountered the "thing"... and perhaps solved it !
I have a web application that index many documents so I have a quite large Lucene (2.2) index (~ 350 Mo) managed by a FSDirectory. The indexation (I mean writing in indeces) is done by batches. Each batch works first in a RAMDirectory, wich is merged with the main index in a third one (a temporary FSDirectory). When the merge is done, the application have to replace the main index (untouched until this time). Here comes the problem ! To replace, the application close the searcher, then the FSDirectory itself. After that, the application delete all files of the main index and then copy all files of the temporary index in place, before re-open the FSDirectory, generate searcher, etc. All that is good in Linux environment, and in Windows most of the time. Yeap ! sometimes, windows FS refuses the deletion of the main index files. Th only way I found to force windows FS unlocking those files is to stop the servlets server (Tomcat). I can't shutdown Tomcat during the indexation work. I don't know how to solved that :-( Does anyone get inspiration ?
