Also, you could use a try / finally and always close the IndexWriter in the finally clause, which should release the lock. However, it sounds like something else is up if you are hitting alot of errors when writing the index. We are working on a locking implementation that uses OS native locks (instead of file existence locking now used). This would fix the case where the JVM has crashed or was killed (ie, the OS will release the lock for us).
