Hello, 1) On Windows, I often shut down my application server (which has active IndexWriters open) using the ctrl+c keys. 2) I inspect my directories on the file system I see that the write.lock file is still there. 3) I start the app server again, and do some operations that would require IndexWriters to write to the same directories again and it works!
I don't understand why I do not run into any exceptions? I mean there is already a lock file present which should prevent the IndexWriters from getting access to the directories ... no? I should be happy but I'm not because other folks are able to get exceptions when they bounce their servers an I'm unable to reproduce the problem and I can't help them. Any clues? Anyone? Thank You, - Pulkit
