Hi,
Is there anything wrong with the following code?
try {
m_lock.write(); // obtain a write lock on a RWLock
IndexReader indexReader = IndexReader.open("mypath");
IndexSearcher indexSearcher = new IndexSearcher("mypath");
// use the searcher to search for documents to be deleted
// use the reader to do the deletes.
indexReader.close();
}
catch(Throwable e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
m_lock.unlock();
}

Sometimes I am getting the following exception:
java.io.IOException: Index locked for write:
Lock@D:\RevealCS\Search\Data\reports\write.lock
at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.delete(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.delete(Unknown Source)
at
revsearch.RevSearch$DeleteWatcherThread.checkAction(RevSearch.java:1455)
at revsearch.RevSearch$WatcherThread.run(RevSearch.java:250)

This exception was not happening every time the code was run, it was
intermittent.

I suspect it is because I am using indexSearcher and indexWriter to open the
myPath dir. I changed it such that indexSearcher uses the indexReader in the
constructor.

I am hoping that some one can shed some light on what went wrong, thanks.
Aruna.
