Hi,

I have the IndexWriter.infoStream set to System.out and get the following

merging segments _4m (2 docs) _4n (1 docs) into _4o (3 docs)
java.io.IOException: Cannot delete PathToDB\_29.cfs; Will re-try later.
java.io.IOException: Cannot delete PathToDB\_29.cfs; Will re-try later.

Is this normal? IndexWriter.deleteFiles() is giving the message and it explicitly catches the IOException which is what makes me think it might be normal.

Do you also have a reader open against this index? If yes, then this is totally normal on Windows. A reader holds open the segments cfs files that it is using, so when the writer tries to delete them (because they were merged) the delete fails and Lucene will try again later.
