Before I saw the write.lock messages, I had an OutOfMemoryError, but the container didn't shut down. After that Solr spewed write lock messages and I had to restart. So, you might want to search backwards in your logs and see if you can find when the write lock problems and if there is some identifiable problem preceding that. Jerry Quinn
