Hi,
I am a newbie to lucene but I guess the IOException will occur only in
windows as window os doesn't close the files properly. It shud work
fine in Linux.
I had a similar problem when recreating the same index. The approach I
took was to delete all documents and start adding new ones, instead of
overwriting the index.

I have implemented a Client-Server application where a desktop program
on a file server regularly updates an index while a web application
running on Tomcat on the same server answers queries against this
index. Currently the index is not built incrementally.
Now, the problem is that if I have an open IndexReader (or Searcher or
Luke Toolbox, respectively), it is impossible to update the index
because I get IOExceptions ala "Cannot delete _7.cfs". This even
happens if the conflicting IndexReader isn't doing anything but just
sitting still inside a Searcher to wait for the next query. So, does
that mean I have to close the searcher after each request to let the
indexer do its work? Or is there a way to tell Lucene that the
IndexReader is only reading and not writing anything.
Thanks for your help,
Matthias
