Hi, it is very easy to provoke the errrors you describe when you are opening many alternating writers and readers on Windows.
You can circumvent this problem by using fewer writer and reader objects, e.g., first delete all documents to update, then write all the updated documents. Or use a second index only for the writing and merge this into the first after you have deleted the update documents there.

Here are a couple of the exceptions that I'm getting: - java.io.IOException: couldn't rename _6lr.tmp to _6lr.del - java.io.IOException: couldn't rename segments.new to segments I am able to index many documents successfully on my Windows machine. The problem occurs for me during the updating process. My updating process goes like this: for (each xml file i want to index) { // create new document parse the xml file populate a new Lucene document with the fields from my XML file // remove old document from index open an index reader delete the term from the index // this successfully deletes the one document close the index reader // add new document to index open an index writer add the document to the index writer close the index writer } Any ideas on how to stop these exceptions from occuring? No other process is reading or writing to the index while this process is running.
