Hi,
we are calling updateDocument(term, document) method on IndexWriter and after that we are calling close() method of indexWriter. In Close() method i got the following IO exception. \\server01\files\luceneIndex\_c.cfs (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process) Ni this case index writer was created successfully and it acquired lock for that directory and due to above exception the lock file was not removed. Is there any chances that _c.cfs file is used by any other process because index writer already acquires lock on that directory? Is there any way to handle such scenario ?
