I'm currently having a problem overwriting an old index. Every night, the contents of a database I'm using get updated, so the lucene indexes are also recreated every night. The technique I'm currently using is just to start a new index on top of the old one (IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(filePath, new StandardAnalyzer(), true) ) but sproatically I get an IO exception: couldn't delete _2oil.fdt or something to that effect.
I'm pretty sure nothing is using the index (but then again I am querying it using a COM+ wrapper, so who really knows what's going on behind the scenes)...anyone have any ideas how to avoid this? Worst case senario I would at least like the old index to still be usable (the one from the night before). Is there a way to transactionally update an index or something to that effect? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
