Hello,
I use Lucene 2.9.1 with two indices, which alternate each day. One is
live, the other is erased and renewed with the latest data.
The problem is that the index files will be deleted, but the file
handles are still available. If the program (JBOSS) is not restarted for
some time, the disk space is scarce.
With lsof I see e.g:
java 6054 root 80r REG 8,1
5939406525 84663 /usr/_index/2/item3_index/_2fdtq2.cfs (deleted)
java 6054 root 82r REG 8,1
401785779 78344 /usr/_index/2/item2_index/_5exkf.cfs (deleted)
java 6054 root 84r REG 8,1
106496943 72217 /usr/_index/2/item1_index/_85bld.cfs (deleted)
java 6054 root 147r REG 8,1
5939406525 84663 /usr/_index/2/item3_index/_2fdtq2.cfs (deleted)
java 6054 root 150r REG 8,1
401785779 78344 /usr/_index/2/item2_index/_5exkf.cfs (deleted)
### open the a specific searcher: ###
public static Searcher getSearcher(String indexName)
throws IOException
{
Searcher searcher = searchersList.get(indexName);
if(searcher == null) {
String path = getPath(subDir, indexName);
Directory directory = new NIOFSDirectory(new File(path));
searcher = new IndexSearcher(directory, true);
directoriesList.put(indexName, directory);
searchersList.put(indexName, searcher);
}
return searcher;
}
### switch the searchers: ###
public static void determineIndexDirectories() {
searchersListOld = searchersList;
searchersList = new Hashtable<String, Searcher>();
directoriesListOld = directoriesList;
directoriesList = new Hashtable<String, Directory>();
subDir = getLastIndexDir();
closeOldSearchers();
}
### close the searchers: ###
private static void closeOldSearchers() {
new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
sleep(10*1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
logger.error("IndexManager.closeOldSearchers", e);
}
for(Searcher searcher : searchersListOld.values()) {
try {
searcher.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.error("Error closing Searcher.", e);
}
}
searchersListOld.clear();
searchersListOld = null;
for(Directory directory : directoriesListOld.values()) {
try {
directory.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.error("Error closing Directory.", e);
}
}
directoriesListOld.clear();
directoriesListOld = null;
}
}.start();
}
I search for this problem in the mailing list, and there are similar
Problems with a not correctly closed IndexReader.
If I create a IndexSearcher with a directory could it be that there is a
similar problem, e.g. the under lying IndexReader (if there is one)
closes not automatically if i close searcher.close()?
Do I have to close something else, than all IndexSearchers and Directorys?
Or am I wrong with my assumption, and the problem is somewhere else?
Best
Thomas
