Sorry for any duplicate posts.
Actually I'm using the latest "final" Lucene.Net and I hope this problem is
not unique to this version.
The OS is windows, FS - NTFS.
Here's an example of what I do in each process (which may reside on a
different computer):
writer = new IndexWriter(fi, new StandardAnalyzer(
threadData.stopwords), true);
while (currentFile < threadData.files.Length)
{
//Add document
AddDocument(threadData.files[currentFile], writer);
writer.Close();
currentFile++;
}
The error I get is (each time it's a different file):
"The process cannot access the file
'D:\\Temp\\xml\\Lucene\\R3MTIndex\\_1.fdt' because it is being used by
another process."

maybeFullPath)\r\n at System.IO.File.Delete(String path)\r\n at

Thanks.
=============================================
You'll get more meaningful answers if you provide some details:
Things that come to mind:
op system (windows? *nix?)
file system (NFS? local? NTFS?)
An example of the error you receive (a stack trace would be good).
The code you're executing when you get the error.
Imagine you're trying to advise someone else and think about what you'd find
useful and try to provide that, please.
