Hey everyone, *Has anyone had any success with the Azure Library for Lucene?* http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Azure-Library-for-83562538
I've got search working perfectly with the FSDirectory. Everything works great in UnitTests with the RAMDirectory. However, as soon as I replace the FSDirectory with the Azure Directory I start getting file not found exceptions whenever I try to update the index. I can successfully create the initial index and search against it but as soon as I try to update index items, I start getting the file not found exceptions. *My Architecture:* 1) Separate searcher and index writer. 2) The index writer is a singleton. 3) The searcher is cached for a minimum of 2 minutes. After the two minutes the searcher recycles only when updates have been made to the index, otherwise it caches itself again for 2 minutes. *What I've Tried Technically: *1) I validated everything works fine with the FSDirectory. 2) I validated everything works great in UnitTests. (I've been unable to replicate the File Not Found exception with unit tests against the Azure Directory). 3) I downgraded my Lucene library to 2.3.1 from 2.9.2 since the Azure Library was originally distributed with 2.3.1. * **Where I've Tried to Get Help:* 1) I posted to the Azure Library FAQ to ask for help 2) I posted to StackOverflow to ask for help (No responses on either yet) *What I'm Going to Try Next:* I'm considering developing my own, simpler, version of the AzureDirectory, but I'm sure this will be a larger effort than I really want to bite off. Since I'm not a Lucene expert I'm sure I'll run into unforeseen issues with concurrency, performance, or something completely out of left field. *Why I'm Desperate:* This is the last feature I need to get working before we release the product. I invested a ton of time learning and getting Lucene to work exactly as we need but right at the end of the development effort I ran into this issue. (Granted, I should have tested this library much much much earlier... Lesson learned on that front) Any suggestions? Thanks, Tim
