Perhaps worth pointing out is item 9 in the changes list: 9. LUCENE-771: The default location of the write lock is now the index directory... While this is way more convenient, notice that Lucene's feature of protecting from opening the index for update by two applications running in parallel is weaker while upgrading to 2.1.0 - i.e. 2.1.0 would succeed to open for write even if at the same time it is open for write by an older Lucene version. To avoid problems, just follow these steps when upgrading: - stop all readers (searchers) - upgrade all readers (searchers) - stop all writers - upgrade all writers > > Lucene 2.1 includes index format changes that are not readable > by older versions of Lucene.
