I don't think it is a good approach to delete the write.lock file by hand. It is there for a reason. You may want to dig into some of the older dialogs/e-mails on this topic.

If it does I delete it before opening the index. It works fine for me. -Goutam -----Original Message----- From: Aruna Raghavan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 8:22 PM To: 'Lucene Users List' Subject: RE: Removing a write.lock file Hi, The write.lock file won't be there if you close the index using a lock mechanism. I use my own RWLock to access the index dir and unlock it after I close the index. Basically, the access to the index is synchronized. I have never had any problems with this approach.
