One reader/searcher per server. My configuration uses - one Lucene index in a shared location, - one server that uses either a single IndexReader or a single IndexWriter to delete or add documents - several servers that read/search the index.
The 'search' servers each have a single IndexReader open to handle all requests. At fixed intervals, they check the version of the index to know if it's time to close and reopen the IndexReader instance. (I make use of the DelayCloseIndexReader I contributed in http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-445 to make sure the previous instance doesn't close while other threads are still using it) You have to make sure all servers put their lock files in a shared location, but from then on everything works fine... There was an issue with getCurrentVersion() and isCurrent() not using the locks properly (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-481), but that's resolved now (the patch is easy to backport to Lucene 1.4.3) Luc -----Original Message----- From: John Powers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: donderdag 5 januari 2006 16:08 To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: RE: searching and indexing simultaneously...

Hi, You are right. There can be multiple indexreaders but only one indexwriter is advised. No, we can not use two indexwriters simultaneously.

HI all. i am newbie to lucene Do lucene provides any way to do indexing ,searching and deleting simultaneously .. I hope we could do searching and indexing which means there can be multiple indexreader and only one indexwriter accessing the index.. Could we have two indexwriter working simultaneously...?
