If I try to add documents to an index while a reader is open I get en error message saying "Cannot delete C:\myindex\_3n.f0". I suspect that this is due to the fact that the windows fs won't allow deletion of a file when there is a filehandler connected to it. The solution I have at the moment is this:
You are correct: Lucene is trying to remove all previous index files because you are doing a clean rebuild of your index. Doing a clean rebuild (create=true on opening the IndexWriter) against an index that's open for searching is not currently a supported use case, and this is exactly the error you'll hit on Windows. As a workaround, you could do a clean build into a fresh directory and then restart your index searchers against this fresh directory (and remove the old one)? However, making incremental changes to an index (adding or deleting docs) that's open for searching is a valid use case. You need to ensure your locking directory (defaults to windows temp dir) is set to the same [local, not remote NFS/Samba] directory for readers & writers. Since you're using a single JVM (I think?) you probably have that already. Are you also hitting an exception for that case?
