I am not at home to provide the information requested about the file and lucene but will get back about it this evening. The directory will be completely empty and I have all access rights on it as I am able to do ls- la on the file. However I did solve this by deleting the lock file myself. Whenever IndexerCreator fails to find index before creating the index I delete the locks.

I don't think there was a follow-up to this.
Aaron, please provide a listing of the directory that you are using in IndexWriter constructor. Is it empty? What are permissions on it? When the exception occurs, a file called write.lock should remain in the directory. Can you ls -al that file? Is this Lucene 1.3*?
Maybe you solved the problem already. This is unlikely a Lucene bug.

Hi
I am starting to get an error about a write.lock in lucene when creating an index in an empty directory. It used to work fine before but now it started to occur and as far as I know I didn't touch anything. Printing out the stack trace from the excpetion thrown I get the following :
java.io.IOException: couldn't delete write.lock at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.create(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.getDirectory(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.getDirectory(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexWriter.<init>(Unknown Source) at qa.answerextraction.AnswerExtractionImpl.processDocument(Unknown Source) at qa.answerextraction.AnswerExtractionServerPOA._invoke(Unknown Source) at org.jacorb.poa.RequestProcessor.invokeOperation(Unknown Source) at org.jacorb.poa.RequestProcessor.process(Unknown Source) at org.jacorb.poa.RequestProcessor.run(Unknown Source)
The code creating this problem is:
IndexWriter writer;
try {
writer = new IndexWriter(indexLocation,
sa,false);
} catch (java.io.IOException e) { writer = new IndexWriter(indexLocation, sa,true);
}
This problem only happens when indexing the very first file. After
that it works fine. All that seems it needs in the directory is a
"segments" file.
Could anyone explain to me the problem or what I am doing wrong in it?
regards Aaron
