Thanks Uwe

Unfortunately I am using a company server and the system admin refuses to change those settings. For now my only option is to explicitly use either SimpleFSDirectory or NIOFSDirectory. But at least it is working!

Hi,

You must ask the system administrator to raise those limits. Or use sudo or get root yourself if its your own machine. Those settings cannot be done as normal user because they affect whole system. In general, those settings don't survive reboots so its better to modify corresponding config files in /etc so its applied on system startup. This depends on your Linux distribution, we cannot give any help on this.

I would also recommend to review my blog post as stated with URL in the exception message!

    Hi,

    I have a problem which I think is the same as that described here:

    
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8892143/error-when-opening-a-lucene-index-map-failed

    However the solution does not apply in this case so I am providing more
    details and asking again.

    The index is created using Solr 5.3

    The line of code causing the exception is:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

          IndexReader indexReader =
    DirectoryReader.open(FSDirectory.open(Paths.get("the_path")));


    The exception stacktrace is:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Exception in thread "main"java.io <http://java.io>.IOException: Map 
failed:

    The suggested solutions as in the exception message do not work in this
    case because I am running
    the application on a server and I do not have
    permissions to change those.

    Namely,
    -----------
          ulimit -v unlimited

    prints: "-bash: ulimit: virtual memory: cannot modify limit: Operation
    not permitted"

    and
    -----
          sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=10000000

    gives:"error: permission denied on key 'vm.max_map_count'"


    Is there any other way I can solve this?

    Thanks
