Sorry, but I would say the same thing. I don't think you are supposed do it even programmatically. It is a lock internal to lucene.

It is there for a reason.

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.
