Hi jacky,

Before you open IndexWriter object you can check whether lock file exists or not and if its available you can unlock it.
Use IndexReader.isLocked and IndexReader.unlock.

Subject: lock file of lucene


hi,
 When writing into an index, lucene will create a write lock file.
So, if there is an error during the writing. the lock file will not be deleted. And also the JVM will not be closed for some time. So the program will have no chance to get lock of this index.
Is there any method to avoid that?

    Best Regards.
      jacky
