it's not a matter of releasing the handles, it needs to keep them open, this tricked me as well I thought it kept the file handles of the source XML files open, but if you look at the code it actually reads the contents of the files from an HTTP request, the file handles are consumed by the files that lucene creates to store the index results, that's why you get the same error when you try to search as well it tries to open all the files but runs out of handles in the process, you have to increase your unix file handles and reboot the system (how to depends on your OS), this solves one problem.
I just hit another one, but I'm convinced it's worth it, I've gotten excellent results after indexing 20 000 files, very fast and very responsive and if it's going to take some tweaking to get it over this problem so be it, that's the joy of open source cheers ..
